How to: See the Expected Finish Date of an Agility project

This feature is available in all editions

Question

Is there any way to see a graph showing the Expected Finish Date for an entire project? Assuming I have assigned all my stories, I was expecting the burndown graph to show something like that, (like Velocity shows Planned Velocity for future iterations/sprints) but the burndown line ends on the current sprint, no matter which view I choose.

Answer

Burndown charts show actual burndown up through the current period. The feature-level burndown chart is driven by the completion of features themselves and does not have any direct relationship to the sprint schedule. When a feature is complete, it triggers a change in the burndown chart regardless of the sprint's status or timing.

You can use the Release Forecasting Report to show a projected completion date and number of sprints. You can input the remaining estimate and velocity directly or have the system calculate it based on parameters you select.
