#ProductAnnouncements
We are excited to announce that the Velocity Throughput Widget is now available in Rally Custom Views. This widget provides teams with a way to visualize previous timebox delivery trends.
Why This Matters
Accurate planning requires a clear understanding of past performance. This widget, built to replace the legacy Velocity apps, allows you to choose between displaying Velocity (work item points) or Throughput (work item count). It helps teams see how much work was accepted during and after the timebox, making retrospectives more data-driven and future commitments more realistic.
Key Improvements
-
Granular Drill-Downs: Hover over bars for summary data or click directly into a specific time bucket to see the individual work items contributing to that total.
-
Comparative Insights: Easily enable a Planned Velocity overlay to compare actual output against original estimates, helping to identify patterns in team predictability.
-
View Trends: Choose between a trendline or moving average to easily identify changes in velocity over previous timeboxes.
Please see the documentation for more details and reach out with any questions or feedback.
