What It Measures
Shows the average story points delivered per weekday.
Why It Matters
Forecasting future delivery capacity

How It's Calculated
Divides total points by the number of weekdays in the date range.
points ÷ business_days_in_windowConcrete Example
If your team delivered 50 story points in a 10-business-day sprint, your velocity is 5 points per business day.
