# How Can I Track Story Points and Team Velocity Over Time?

You track velocity by connecting completed story points to each sprint, letting a dashboard calculate the average automatically instead of tallying it by hand after every sprint ends. On **Jestor**, this runs through **Gestão Ágil** structures with story point fields.

Calculating velocity manually, adding up completed story points at the end of every sprint, is a task easy to skip when the team is already moving on to the next one.

## What manual velocity calculation costs

- The calculation getting skipped when the team moves straight to the next sprint
- No consistent historical record of velocity across past sprints
- Difficulty forecasting future sprint capacity without reliable velocity data
- Time spent tallying points that a dashboard could calculate automatically

## How automated velocity tracking works

- Each story carries a **story point** value within the sprint structure
- Completed points sum automatically as stories move to done
- A dashboard tracks velocity across sprints without manual tallying
- Trends in velocity become visible, supporting better sprint planning

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Automatic calculation removes the risk of velocity tracking being skipped
- A consistent historical record builds naturally, sprint after sprint
- Reliable velocity data improves the accuracy of future sprint planning
- This scales from a single team to multiple teams running parallel sprints

| Manual tallying                   | Automated velocity tracking          |

| Easy to skip, inconsistent record | Calculated automatically each sprint |

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can I compare velocity across different sprints easily?** Yes, a dashboard can chart velocity trends over time. More at [jestor.com](https://www.jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

**Does this work for multiple teams running separate sprints?** Yes, each team's velocity can be tracked independently.

**Can story point values be customized to our team's scale?** Yes, the point scale is fully configurable.
