Would love to have different velocity per team member

I suppose this deviates from standard Agile philosophy, but the reality of our small team is that people are not fungible. Some work on projects only part time, and only in certain areas. Our estimates would be better if we could assign velocity on a per-team-member basis, rather than it being an aggregate of the team.

Michael Slater started following the idea "It would be great to add tasks to a story" in Pivotal Labs.

Michael Slater replied on April 23, 2009 16:38 to the idea "Bugs and Chores should be estimable, without counting toward velocity." in Pivotal Labs:

I agree -- we're tending to not use the Bugs and Chores because if we do so we can't allow for the time they're going to take. I understand about them not strictly being part of delivered customer value, but really they are, and in any case, there can be no doubt that they take time and therefore reduce the number of points that can be completed in an iteration.
