Delivery Throughput
points

Sums the total story points delivered during the selected period.

💡 Story points are your team output currency, they measure how much value was delivered, weighted by complexity.

What It Measures

Sums the total story points delivered during the selected period.

Why It Matters

Tracking total delivery capacity
Measuring overall work output

How It's Calculated

Adds up all story points from completed tasks in the date range, treating unsized tasks as 2 points.

SUM(COALESCE(task.size, 2) WHERE done_at BETWEEN measure_from AND measure_to)
Concrete Example

If your team delivered 120 story points across a two-week sprint, compare it to previous sprints to track capacity trends.

What Does a Healthy Score Look Like?
Compare against your own historical baseline rather than industry averages.
Healthy
Within 10–15% of your sprint average
Watch Out
More than 20% below your baseline
Needs Attention
Consistent decline over 3+ sprints
What Moves This Metric?
Goes up when…
Higher velocity from reduced blockers and faster reviews
Better sprint planning ensuring tasks are ready to start
Team capacity fully available with no absences or incidents
Goes down when…
Unplanned work or incidents consuming sprint capacity
Large tasks carrying over between sprints
Reduced team capacity due to absences or context switching
