Is everyone really that consistent? So if you did more the last 2 weeks and did less these 2 weeks, are you "blocked"? It's great to have stats, but most of the time it's measured and used wrong by management. How does velocity help a more senior engineer? Do you add in the number of times you've helped a junior or another team? Is that a blocker now? Are you going to unblock me by killing off the others!? Why do I have to completely finish a task end to end before working on another 1? I'm not blocked, but just don't feel like doing this part for now. Is that fine? Clearly not! It ignores all the human aspects of things.
