The amount of work a scrum team completes per sprint, measured in story points. Managers love watching it climb; teams know it's gameable within 2 sprints. "Improving velocity" usually means inflating estimates.
"Our velocity was 34 last sprint. Looking at the tickets, it should've been 22."

Velocity in workplace contexts is a project-management metric, especially in Agile software teams, measuring how much work a team finishes per sprint. If your kid uses it at work it is jargon, not slang. Not concerning. Outside tech and finance, native English usage is just "speed." If your kid uses it constantly, ask them where they first heard it, not to police their speech but to understand which online community they are in.
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
