About the velocity chart
Velocity chart compares the committed and completed estimation points of closed sprints and measures your team's performance regularly.
Measuring the average velocity
The velocity of a sprint is calculated based on the estimation points of the work items.
- The number of completed estimation points is compared with the number of committed estimation points to show your progress.
Average velocity = Total completed estimation points of closed sprints / Total number of closed sprints

Example
Here, the team has closed three sprints. The average velocity of the team is calculated by evaluating the committed and completed estimation points.
In this chart, you can see that the Shopping Cart sprint has met the goal (Both the committed and completed bars are equal). Whereas the Category sprint has not met the goal (The completed bar is less than the committed bar). And, for the sprint ' Social Media ' the team has committed points but has closed the sprint without completing any points.
How's the average velocity calculated in this case?
Total completed points of all the two sprints is (23+22+0 = 45), so the average velocity is 45 / 3 = 15
Based on the performance of the team in the past three sprints, the team's average velocity per sprint is 15. So, they can commit 15 points in the upcoming sprints to equal the committed and completed bars.
