Project Velocity = Items Completed / Time Period
Project Velocity measures the amount of work completed per time period across Monday projects. It provides a stable throughput baseline that enables delivery forecasting, capacity planning, and evidence-based sprint commitments.

How to calculate project velocity
Why project velocity matters for Monday.com users
Velocity is the most practical measure of team delivery capacity. Without it, commitments are guesswork and forecasts are wishes. A stable, well-understood velocity enables teams to make and keep promises about when work will be delivered.
For Monday teams, velocity tracking across projects and boards reveals which initiatives are progressing well and which are falling behind their expected pace. It enables managers to reallocate resources proactively and set realistic stakeholder expectations.
Understand and act on project velocity with KPI Tree
KPI Tree calculates project velocity from Monday item completion data in your warehouse. Place this at the centre of your capacity planning tree, connected to burndown and workload distribution metrics.
Assign RACI ownership to project leads for velocity awareness. Set alerts when velocity deviates significantly from the rolling average.

Board Completion Velocity
Work ManagementMetric Definition
Board Completion Velocity = Items Completed / Time Period
Board Completion Velocity measures the rate at which items are moved to completed status across Monday boards over time. It provides a throughput baseline for each board that enables capacity planning and delivery forecasting.
Task Completion Rate
Work ManagementMetric Definition
Task Completion Rate = (Items Completed / Total Items) × 100
Task Completion Rate measures the percentage of items on Monday boards that are moved to a completed status within a defined time period. It is the most fundamental throughput metric, reflecting how effectively teams execute against their planned work.
