Explanation

Velocity measurement is the technique used to estimate how much work a team can complete per iteration. Velocity is calculated as the average number of story points delivered across past iterations, and is used to forecast the team's capacity for upcoming sprints. Planning Poker (C) is used to estimate the size of individual stories, not the team's overall per-iteration throughput. Relative Prioritization and Release Planning serve different planning purposes.
