Velocity? How is that a software term?

• schwarzmx 10y ago
  It's a pretty well known term in agile software development.

    It is also a pretty well known term in other fields, and was long before agile software development came around.

      In this case, other context clues tell us that the article means 'velocity as in software development'. Agile, for example, is another general term that has a fairly specific meaning in this context. If you overhear someone in a park say "Oh, you guys are agile? What's your average velocity?" would you assume they are talking about athletics or software development?
