Repurcussion of starting the sprint late

[Rajasekhar Maddela]

Hello Members,

As I couldn't end the completed sprint on time, I was forced to start the next sprint retroactively for a past date there by starting it 2 days after the scheduled date. When I ran the velocity chart, I saw that although our delivered velocity was decent, our committed velocity was terrible. Can I attribute this to the delay in starting the sprint? If yes -

1. How do i know how much velocity I'm committing in such cases where there is a delay in  the sprint?

2. My stakeholders have questioned this & I'd like to genuinely point out to them the root cause.

Regards,

Raj
