- Record the resulting action, decision, or next review date with the appropriate owner.
Inputs and method

Fictional learning scenario: Use the labelled fictional example in the online tool as a learning starter; replace it with authorised local evidence.
Review and decision prompt
What range of delivery is plausible, and what would change that forecast?
Next action:Discuss the forecast range with the product team and revisit it after scope, team, or flow conditions change.
Common failure mode
Velocity becomes a target when a historical average is treated as a commitment or used across incomparable teams.
Outputs
