measure velocity in releases

[Assaf Shimon]

hi, 

I want to measure velocity. the issue is that I do not use sprints, but (fix) versions every 2 weeks.

Jira embedded tools are referring to sprints and releases.

any thoughts?

Hi @Assaf Shimon 

If you are not using Scrum with JIRA, you are using Kanban, correct?

Rather than velocity, you could measure throughput: count of completed items per time interval.  You could show that on a Dashboard with the two-dimensional gadget, for Fix Version and Issue Type.

If you still want to measure sum of story points per unit of time, you could probably use one of the other gadgets on a dashboard to do so.

Best regards,

Bill
