Calculation of Team Iteration progress

Once the Team Iteration is planned and started it is important to keep track of it.  How much work is done and how much is not? Every day the Team members update their effort remaining to complete their current work in the Team Iteration by tracking time or closing Tasks and User Stories. Targetprocess will help you to see the progress of Team Iteration right from the board view.

It is also useful to have retrospective information about how much work has been done in previous time-boxes in order to use this information for planning future periods.

Let's have a look at 2 examples.
