Engineering Delivery Intelligence

See beyond velocity. Understand delivery.

Turn engineering activity into clear delivery context — progress, scope changes, risk, carryover and what actually reached production. Keep leadership informed, keep teams aligned, and deliver with fewer surprises.

Sprint 24: issues by delivery stage (example)

31 issues entered this sprint as carryover. 19 of them are in code review or QA right now.

Velocity without context is just a number.

Velo
From velocity — how work moves through engineering delivery.
Wise
The context and insight leaders need to make better decisions.
VeloWise
Understand your engineering velocity. Know why it moves.

More than whether work was completed — the story behind delivery:

  1. Requirements
  2. Development
  3. Code review
  4. QA
  5. Done
  6. Released

Where work slows down, what carries over, where scope changes, which stages accumulate work, and what actually reaches production.

  1. Velocity“How fast are we moving?”
  2. Context“Where is work slowing down?”
  3. Intelligence“Why is it happening?”
  4. VeloWise“What should we pay attention to?”

From delivery activity to leadership answers

Your workflow records what happened. VeloWise explains where work went, why it carried over, and what is slowing delivery down.

How much of this sprint did we inherit?

38% of this sprint was inherited — 19 of those 31 issues are already past development, waiting on review or testing.

Where is work accumulating?

Engineering may not be the constraint: 63% of started, unfinished work is already in code review or QA — both well above their usual queue.

  • Development18usual level
  • Code review142.3× usual
  • QA / testing162.0× usual
  • Blocked / waiting0usual level

Usual queue (median of the last 6 sprints). A tall bar alone is not a bottleneck; a queue well above its own history is.

How long has work been carrying over?

5 issues have carried across 3 or more sprints. That is delivery debt, not spillover.

Done isn’t delivered

“Done” does not always mean delivered: Application Workflow is 92% past development but only 42% released.

Is carryover getting better or worse?

Carryover rose for 4 consecutive sprints while commitment stayed between 60 and 64 issues.

Why didn’t the sprint finish?

The team didn’t simply miss 36 issues — scope grew 28% after the sprint started.

From export to explanation

Your delivery data shows what happened. VeloWise helps explain why.

  1. Import your delivery data

    Import your existing delivery data; it is analyzed and kept in your browser. Fields are detected automatically; anything unusual can be mapped by hand and remembered for next time.

    Supports CSV exports from Jira and, with field mapping, other delivery tools. See supported data sources.

  2. Get an evidence-based diagnosis

    Sprint health, scope change, carryover, bottlenecks and cycle time — each conclusion labelled by how well your data supports it.

  3. Decide what changes next sprint

    A deterministic summary with recommendations tied to the findings, a commitment simulator, and exports for your sprint review.

Choose how your delivery data is stored

Files are parsed and analyzed in your browser. Signed out, datasets stay in browser storage. With an active organization project, imports are also saved for your team. Owners and admins can delete imports; browser data and organization data have separate deletion controls.

Read the privacy model

Honest by design

It tells you when your data can’t answer the question

A basic delivery export may have no sprint dates or status history. Instead of drawing a convincing but invented chart, every conclusion carries one of three labels — and missing data comes with instructions for getting it.

Observed

Read directly from your export or the sprint dates you provided. “23 issues entered from previous sprint carryover.”

Inferred

Derived with a stated assumption. “At least 8 issues were added after start” — from creation dates, so a lower bound.

Unavailable

Your export can’t support it. “Time in code review needs status-transition history” — and how to export it.

Find the delivery constraint worth fixing next

Import your delivery data and analyze it in your browser. Or explore the sample first: it simulates ten closed sprints of a fictional checkout team — healthy sprints, scope creep, a review bottleneck, a QA crunch, a release freeze, and commitment creeping above steady throughput.
