In Agile, 'velocity' is a measure of what?

The speed of project delivery
The number of features delivered in a fixed iteration
Team communication efficiency
Customer feedback responsiveness

The correct answer is: The number of features delivered in a fixed iteration

Velocity in Agile specifically refers to the amount of work a team can complete during a single iteration or sprint, which is typically measured in story points. It helps in understanding how much work can be realistically achieved in future iterations, thereby guiding planning and estimation efforts. By quantifying the delivered features in terms of effort required, it enables the team to track their progress over time and adjust their workload accordingly. While the concept of velocity might seem related to speed, it is not about the speed of project delivery in a broad sense. Instead, it is a reflection of actual output in a specific context, hence confirming the distinction that makes option B the accurate description. Using velocity effectively allows teams to better gauge their productivity and make informed decisions about pacing future work and commitments.
