For the "more advanced options for true documentation stuff like charts, tables (formatted!), diagrams and more." you might like Obisidian.

But that steers you back towards markdown. How deeply do you not like markdown?

oh wait, Google showed me this:

Machines have raised the stakes once again. A superhuman poker-playing bot called Pluribus has beaten top human professionals at six-player no-limit Texas hold’em poker, the most popular variant of the game. It is the first time that an artificial-intelligence (AI) program has beaten elite human players at a game with more than two players

IIRC it's "solved" for heads up but not really multiway like 3+ to the flop. I believe in a recent Bart Hanson Youtube he points out that mutltiway is not solved.

If your velocity is correct you should end up with 100% completion and your employees having a work life balance. But I rarely see that.

It would be awesome if this were the exact, widely agreed upon definition of velocity.

Of course then the other issue would be whether it's followed.

Does it make sense to expect 100% completion? Maybe for something new our estimates are off by X% and future ones get more accurate. But then there's unplanned tasks/work from infrastructure issues or a high priority issue from upper management, or some other group.

So then the idea is - well, "fix" the other unplanned work by adding more process to those other groups...

BUT then overall the business changes anyway.

conclusion - the point of all this is:

1 - we create an illusory sense of control so the business can feel good about it 2 - so at least we don't have to be overwhelmed by an infinite todo list and can end each day with some sense of work/life balance

Isn't this a capacity planning issue? I thought if you are 100% complete on every sprint, then you are planning incorrectly. It's not supposed to be a report card every 2 weeks but an approach to review your work to build for the long term, right?
