Ask HN: What to label the rate of change in development speed?
I am working on a tool to measure the speed of work by engineering teams. One visualization shows whether work is speeding up, slowing down, or going at a constant rate. What would you call that?
- bradknowles 6y agoIn fields outside of computer science and technology in general, the rate of change in velocity or speed is usually called acceleration, or deceleration, as appropriate.
- giantg2 6y agoManagement calls the amount of work a team completes during a sprint 'velocity'. They usually say it is increasing or decreasing. Most agile tools already have this measure in them (see JIRA).
