Story Drag Coefficient (SDC) Scalable agile-friendly metric that captures the effect of
organizational drag (impediment) on teams’ plan to deliver work (story points) within a time-box (sprint).
Team A Team B
Team C
ISP TPS L SDC A 4 20 9 2.22% B 4 20 4 5.00% C 4 20 14 1.43%
SDC = Team Planned Stories (TPS) x Sprint Length (L)
Impeded Story Points (ISP)

Stream Turbulence Index (STI) • A constant that reflects the planning deviation for a team
based on their actual versus optimal delivery expectation for a time-box (Sprint).
STI = Planned End Day
