4 Agile estimation techniques and their effect on velocity
Agile is a peculiar methodology. It’s scary to trust the process when you have to jump into your first project without a fixed budget. But Agile isn’t devoid of estimates.
As an Agile organisation, we constantly improve. Our team introduces new coding standards, such as automated code validation. We approach web development on a component level, powered by atomic design systems. And we also like having some fun with the code – if that sounds like you, have a look at our web development articles below.

Technical debt is a metaphor for the shortcuts that we take in software development. In the same way that financial debt can be useful when it helps you to achieve your goals quicker, technical debt can make sense when it enables you to get something working quickly. These shortcuts come at the cost of increased development effort in future releases—effort that may be impossible to predict, but which can often be significant.
In agile, velocity is a concept which refers to the amount of work that has been done during an iteration. It’s a measurement that tracks information about work completed, work started, and work remaining. Velocity is considered to be one of the most important metrics in agile. Not only does it allow you to track progress, but it also helps deliver the most value.
Websites have evolved drastically in just a few decades. They went from being a novelty to something that “every business needs”. But there’s one thing that didn’t keep up with that rapid evolution – the process of designing and developing websites. Most agencies build websites the same way they built them 20+ years ago.
