Lyceum, if we define milestones as important stages in product development - it would be super-hard to estimate when they're going to happen beforehand. The time span between them is usually considerable, so there would be too much risk in under or overestimating. And by story points we mean all those smaller actions you have to perform - you break down your big tasks into story points, and then you measure how many of them are done per time interval (or 'sprint', could be two weeks or so). That's how you calculate velocity.

Natalia: Thanks for your reply. Have your read Dr. Goldratt's book, Critical Chain?

Velocity is an agile term that denotes the number of 'story points' (or units of work) that the team completes in a particular interval. So it's basically the efficiency of the team. This is measured while the project's already running. We've actually done an infographic on this too! http://espeo.eu/blog/team-velocity/

Natalia: Thanks for the explanation! I will check out the link. Are milestones covered by the story points?

As a educated international project co-coordinator, I thought infographic was a neat guide. I wonder what you would include in the term, velocity, in the talks with your client? Is it the difference between your planned timeline, budget, etc. and the outcome?
