Release Progress

The summary information at the top of the page provides a snapshot of the current status of the release to allow the team and the product owner to determine if any changes need to be made in order to meet the project deadlines. Information in the summary includes:

Release start and end dates.
Remaining Days.
Remaining Work (Points or Stories).
Operating Velocity (Number of Points/Stories per week).
Operating Capacity (Percentage of Points/Stories).

Note: If a Story is not estimated, it is not included in the release tracking calculations and a warning is displayed in the Health section indicating that there are Stories without estimates.

The Progress bar indicates the number of Story Points Accepted, Completed, Started, Blocked, and Not Started in a release.

Project Tracking using the Tracking Perspective

You can adjust the TRACKING perspective to show Point or Story count-based Project metrics. Projects that use Story Points for planning and executing will find the point-based tracking metrics useful. For Projects that do not use Point-based planning, the Use Number of Stories option may provide more value.

To do this, select one of the following options:

> Use Story Points: Tracking metrics are based on Stories and assigned Story Point values.
> Use number of Stories: Tracking metrics are based on Story counts (any provided Points are not considered).
