The vast majority of the time, we’d overestimate the amount of work we could do. Granted, we did get more disciplined about estimating and we eventually fell into a cadence. But still, we were off every time.
I've been on a number of agile teams in several different companies, and I've never been on a team that missed their target every single time.
I remember once we planned a sprint that included only about 25% of what we actually thought we could handle, and we barely made it.
Sounds like they finally locked in on the right velocity. Probably should've stuck with it.
