By default, the forecast is calculated for the following velocities:

  • Average velocity
  • Min velocity

Those velocities are automatically calculated based on the last completed sprints. The number of the completed sprints is defined is Sprint count option.

As values and complete dates of the built-in velocities are calculated automatically their values are displayed as 'auto'.

If you provide the desired completion date the required velocity to achieve that goal will be calculated.
