Azure Devops - Calculate Change in Sprint Story Point Velocity during Sprint

My team uses Azure Devops to plan our sprints, and we are trying to calculate a datapoint for how much the velocity of a sprint may change during its course. For example, a work item that was initially estimated as 2 story points has additional requirements or features added in during the course of the sprint as we determine the original requirements did not meet the the full scope of need.

I know how to query DevOps to determine what the story points assigned to any given iteration are at the time of the query, but I don't know if there is a way to check the velocity as it stood at the beginning of the sprint vs the velocity at the conclusion of the sprint.

We are interested because our product team is still learning to craft and point items correctly, and being able to see on a bi-weekly basis where our original estimates were incorrect can help us to make better estimates in the future and help us identify examples of work items where the original scope was not inclusive of the eventual effort.

In Azure DevOps, the Azure Boards service has built-in Velocity reports.

In the project, you can go to Boards > Backlogs > Analytics to open the Velocity report of your team.

On the Dashboards, there also is a built-in Velocity widget that you can configure for your team.

For more details, you can see "View and configure team velocity".
