Agile Velocity is an extremely simple method for measuring the rate at which scrum teams consistently deliver business value. In other words – How much product backlog effort a team can handle in one sprint? It’s the rate at which a team delivers stories from the product backlog, i.e. sum of estimates of delivered (i.e., accepted) features per iteration. It can be measured in story points, days, ideal days, or hours that the Scrum team delivers – all of which are considered acceptable.

What happens with the Undone User Story of Current Sprint?
This is one of the most common questions discussed among the Agile Community – What happens with the undone User Story of Current Sprint? Why does this happen? How should you deal with the undone user story? What should become of such stories? What should be done with the product backlog item itself? Should be it split or should it be carried into the next sprint? Should the team receive any velocity “credit” for completing a portion of the story? And how do you prevent it from happening again? This article addresses all of these questions.

Pseudo-Agile is a slow poison to Software Quality
Today most of the organizations are moving or have already moved to agile development and testing. Or at least they think so. Sprints and daily stand-ups are common. Everybody is talking about Scrum & minimum viable product. We are tracking the team velocity & burndown. We have cut down on the documentation & invested in working software. Everyone is focused on customer satisfaction by accepting change. But wait a minute! This is too-happy a picture to be true.

Software Requirement analysis | User story vs Use case
User stories and Use cases are both used to document the requirements. They both capture features of the system. They’re both used by the development team to construct the best solution. They can be used to organize and categorize requirements. And they can be used as references during testing to ensure that the requirements have been met. While user stories and use cases are similar, they also differ in substantial ways. The difference can be challenging to understand and explain, especially if your team is making a transition from a Waterfall software development environment to Agile and Scrum. Each serves a distinct purpose, and they both have their place on a well-run software project. We will try and cover User story vs Use case in this article…
