The 90-Minute Velocity Recovery Workshop
Velocity swinging wildly? Identify the hidden bottlenecks and external dependencies slowing your team down.
About this session
When sprint velocity fluctuates wildly, teams often waste time guessing at the cause or blaming individual performance rather than systemic issues. This session provides a structured way to pinpoint whether the slowdown stems from invisible technical bottlenecks or external teams blocking progress. You leave with a prioritized list of specific interventions to stabilize output and regain a predictable pace.
Why it works
The workshop moves the conversation away from vague frustration by forcing participants to visualize the specific hand-offs and internal friction points where work actually stalls. By mapping these dependencies against the team's recent output, the session shifts the focus from individual effort to systemic constraints that are often outside the team's direct control.
What you’ll walk away with

- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
