About this template
This OKR aims to increase the sprint story points burnt down, signaling an improvement in development velocity. The primary objective is to raise the burnt down story points by 15% by the end of the next sprint.

The final part of the OKR is focused on advancing the team's understanding of Agile by training all members in advanced Scrum techniques. A proficient Agile team is an efficient one, so investing in this training will positively impact the burnt down story points. Funding for the training must be secured and advanced Scrum training providers identified while scheduling sessions to meet the targets.
