A Scrum Team uses Velocity to gauge their capacity for future Sprints during Sprint Planning. By examining their Velocity from previous Sprints, such as completing 30 story points in one Sprint and 35 in the next, the team can estimate the amount of work they can likely accomplish in upcoming Sprints.
This historical data allows the team to make informed decisions about which Product Backlog items to include in the next Sprint. It helps them balance their workload, set realistic goals, and avoid overcommitting. Thus, Velocity becomes a valuable tool in creating a sustainable pace of work for the team.
