Italy is not a huge country, but the weather from the top to the toe of this boot will vary pretty dramatically throughout the year. Plus, with the long coastlines and mountain ranges, the temperature can change in a matter of minutes as you go from town to town.
Velocity can be a really great tool to help in identifying problems with a team as far as blockers, bugs and problems with the practices within the team. Without looking at official definitions here's my definition of what velocity is: Velocity is an abstract measure of a teams productivity towards delivering features over time. We measure velocity by working out an average number of agile points delivered sprint-on-sprint and dividing the total number of agile points delivered over X sprints by the number of sprints it has taken to deliver them. So velocity is: Velocity = Total number of Agile Points Delivered / Number of Sprints. Let's break the velocity statement down. When we refer to velocity as an âabstract measureâ, what do we mean? To answer this question, we need to understand what makes up velocity. We said earlier it's an average of the number of agile points delivered.
This means that some of the teams that claim to be doing âAgileâ arenât. Compressing the schedule, throwing out the documentation, and coding up to the. last minute is not Agile: it may result in short term speed but at the cost of long term. pain. Agile methods are above all sustainable. Agile teams really do need testers â or at least people who have strong testing skills. But there is a small grain of truth in the idea that Agile teams donât need QA. Thatâs. because Agile teams donât need is QA acting as a Quality Police.
