Velocity widget in Azure Devops | Doesn't calculate based on completed story points
Hi Team,
I am fairly new to Azure DevOps as a tool for Agile scrum project tracking. We have been through a few iterations already. And as I am exploring the "Velocity widget", I see that when I choose to display Velocity based on "Stories Backlog" and "Sum of Story Points" , it sums up all story points that were "planned" in the last 5 (or N) iterations. And then divides it by 5 (or N).
However, isn't Velocity supposed to consider only the "Completed" story points?
I tried displaying velocity based on "Work Item Type = User Story" and "Sum of Story Points" but result is the same.
Can someone please help on what I am missing? Is it some configuration that I have missed?
OR does Azure DevOps show Velocity based on "Planned" story points instead of "Completed"?
Note - I checked state category defined in the project process definition and we have "Completed" category with "Closed" state defined.
Thanks
Pramod
Can someone please advise / help on my query?
Pramod_Peddada Velocity widgets can be configured to calculate in various ways, as follows.
Not sure if this helps (so long ago).

Planned Calculated based on the number of work items assigned to the sprint before the start of the sprint. If a work item is assigned to the sprint before it begins, but gets assigned to another sprint after the start of the original sprint, it shows as Planned in the original sprint. Then, the work item shows as Late or Incomplete in the new sprint that it is assigned to. Completed Calculated based on the number of work items assigned to the sprint before or after the start of the sprint and completed before the end of the sprint. Completed Late Calculated based on the number of work items assigned to the sprint before or after the start of the sprint but completed after the end of the sprint. Incomplete Calculated based on the number of work items assigned to the sprint before or after the start of the sprint and not yet completed.
