Standardizing velocity? Sounds like a recipe for a standardized disaster. Good luck with that one, management.

Ah, the age-old debate of velocity vs. value. Management just can't seem to wrap their heads around the fact that they're not the same thing.

C'mon, you can't just look at the numbers and think you understand the value being delivered. Velocity is just a metric, not the end-all-be-all.

Velocity is not about productivity, it's about value creation. Incentivizing that is a surefire way to get teams gaming the system.

I don't think B is a good idea, standardizing velocity may not accurately reflect value creation.

Standardizing velocity? Seriously? That's like trying to standardize the amount of coffee I drink in the morning. Unique to each team, remember?
