[Term] Velocity [Description] 
This is often misunderstood as a very basic measurement on the Return-on-Investment for SCRUM/XP software development and it has nothing at all to do with financial services, budgets and/or reporting. The creators of SCRUM/XP now disuade velocity as a ROI indicator at all. Velocity is the number of story points completed per team per iteration. To the SCRUM/XP experienced: Velocity is equal to the aggregated units of work completed over aggregated time intervals, which implies you measure each progress of tasks in two or more sprints.
