Velocity update #

After Berlin Buzzwords is over now, I thought it might be time to update a formerly published velocity graph. If you have been following this blog during the past few months you may know already, that we are using Scrum @ Home for several months already. I even published results of a Scrum Nokia test earlier this year.

Today I created another one of these nice velocity charts. What is interesting about this graph are two things. First of all: There are two spikes in the velocity graph. As our scrum board is used only for things done during our spare time, these spikes roughly correspond to German vacation days (Christmas and Easter).

More interestingly the work load shortely before Berlin Buzzwords happend was not much higher than usual. Weekend was totally free of any work - except for meeting with friends, going to town and attending the Barcamp. A sure sign of fantastic preparation and organisation with that few tasks left to do. Julia, thanks for helping with scheduling tasks such that no panicky late-night action was needed before, during or after the conference.
