!!! Overview!! [Agile] [{$pagename}] is the measure of work completed by the [Delivery Team] within each [iteration]. Often this is measured by the number of user [Story Point]s a [Delivery Team] can complete in an [Iteration]. [{$pagename}] does not relate to hours. So just do __not__ compare them.[{$pagename}] is __NOT__ just about deployment or execution speed however. [Human Element] factors are also important. If onboarding a new [Development Team] member takes a month, or a quarter before they can deploy meaningful changes, that decreases [{$pagename}] as well. Splitting [User Stories|User Story] up into smaller services reduces the amount of information a new developer need in order to be effective. Pushing code quickly after joining a [Delivery Team] raises morale and helps identify gaps in the [API Registry]. The Actual [{$pagename}] and involves dividing the total number of [Story Points] completed by the number of [Iterations]. For example, if the development team has completed a total of 70 points over two [Iterations], the team's __actual [{$pagename}]__ would be 35 points per [Iteration]. The is expected [{$pagename}], which involves dividing the total number of estimated [Story Points] by the number of [Iterations]. For example, if the development team estimates a total of 160 points over four sprints, the team's __expected [{$pagename}]__ would be 40 per [Iteration]. [{$pagename}] should only be used for the team for planning purposes. The success of the team should always be based upon the delivery of [Business value]--i.e. a working increment of the product delivered to the [customer]. [{$pagename}] is also used within [Iteration Planning] to estimate how long it takes to deliver [Business value], and forecasted in [Story Points].!!
