Note: Mean time to repair (MTTR) is a basic measure of the maintainability of repairable items. It represents the average time required to repair a failed component or device.
Expressed mathematically, it is the total corrective maintenance time divided by the total number of corrective maintenance actions during a given period of time. It generally does not include lead time for parts not readily available, or other Administrative or Logistic
Downtime (ALDT).

Once youve completed a sprint or two, you can use the velocity chart to forecast how much of your backlog youll finish each sprint.

Forecast your upcoming sprint -
1. From the backlog page, open the velocity chart.
In the chart, you can see how many story points (or whatever you use to estimate your backlog) your team has completed in the previous sprints.
2. Go back to the backlog page, turn forecasting on, and enter your predicted velocity.

Changing velocity changes forecast lines
Forecast lines show how much work your team should be able to complete in future sprints.
