Knowing how fast work gets done, known as work velocity, and how often we’re hitting our intended dates gives us an opportunity to improve our processes where needed. More importantly, we can give our stakeholders more accurate and predictable timelines, which makes for happy stakeholders and more business opportunities.

I used the work velocity formula recently for a few of our key work processes. It's so great in theory, but our problem is data accuracy, that people aren't completing work when it's actually completed. But data inaccuracy thus strengthens the case for why we need to be using Workfront in the first place!

Ah, yes, I've definitely had that issue before. It definitely makes it obvious what needs to be fixed or used more in Workfront. In complete honesty, I've had to go back in and edit a few of my own actual completion dates when I saw a report that was not reflecting real life!
