Let's discuss some of the important measurements in Agile, and that is the Velocity of the Scrum team work.
Based on Wikipedia definition Velocity is " ...the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference and is a function of time...", which when transferred to the scrum world can be summarized as: The amount of work that the scrum team completed in a single measure of time - in a sprint.
How we Calculate Velocity?
Velocity is actually a very simple to calculate, it is done but totaling the number of story points of fully completed user stories from the sprint backlog. So if a current sprint included 4 user stories: 2 with 8 story points each, one with 3 story points and one with 32 story points. and by the end of the sprint the 32 one was not fully done the velocity calculation will be:
8+8+3=19
Note: the 32 story points are not part of the velocity calculation as this user story was not completed.
