Change Team Sprint Velocity

A team's estimated velocity can change from one sprint to the next. When planning the workload for a sprint, you can update the team's velocity on the Sprint Information page. The changes are immediately reflected in the sprint backlog section of the Backlog page .

Follow these steps:

1. From the Agile Vision menu, click Sprint Information.
2. Filter the view by product and the sprint in which you want the change to occur.
3. Click Edit for the sprint team you want to update.

   The Sprint Team Edit page appears.

4. Update the following fields as needed, and click Save.

   Expected Velocity

   Defines the estimated total story points that a scrum team believes they can realistically complete during a sprint. The velocity displays as team capacity in the sprint backlog.

   Expected velocity does not alter general team numbers. You can accept the value specified on the scrum team properties page or override it for the sprint by entering a new value. The new value becomes the default velocity for the team for each new sprint that the team is assigned to.

   Hours per Day

   Defines the base or standard number of hours per day that all team members spend actively working for the team. This value is used in the burndown calculations.

   This value does not alter general team numbers. You can accept the Hours per Day specified in the scrum team properties page or override it for the sprint by entering a new value.
