Velocity & Forecasting in GitHub
Why velocity matters
Velocity is more than a number. It’s a reflection of how much work your team can reliably deliver in a sprint.
- Helps with planning: estimate what’s realistic for the next sprint.
- Reveals trends: see if your delivery pace is stable, improving, or slowing down.
- Supports retrospectives: use velocity as a neutral basis for discussing scope and focus.
When combined with forecasting, velocity becomes a powerful tool: it helps you answer the question, “When will this be done?”
The challenge with GitHub
GitHub is where your team works, but it doesn’t provide velocity charts or forecasting tools.
- Very limited velocity charts in Insights
- No way to forecast completion dates
- Manual exports to Excel or third-party boards
Scrum Masters and Product Owners often end up guessing or building their own spreadsheets.
