Daria, one popular question that we generally face during interview session. "What will you do when velocity is dropping as compared with previous data?" Now, my doubt is, can sprint velocity be considered as a measure of team's performance? Why/ Why not?
It depends on who your interviewer is. I often ask this question in an interview. My goal is to see if you think velocity is a good metric to measure performance (it's not), and it the goal of velocity is to increase it (which is also not true). However, in a very traditional organization velocity can be used to measure performance, compare teams, and more. It's a good opportunity to work with management in finding better metrics for this.
