Distinguish Throughput from Velocity in agile planning

This tests your understanding of outcome-based vs. effort-based agile metrics. A great answer defines Throughput as the count of finished items per time unit (e.g., 8 stories/sprint) and Velocity as the sum of story points completed per sprint. Then, contrast them: Throughput measures actual delivery, while Velocity measures estimated effort completed. Use Throughput for probabilistic forecasting ("when will it be done?"). A major red flag is treating them as interchangeable or dismissing one without explaining the trade-offs.
