Progress tracking is a very important feature of any project management software. Are we doing well? Are there problems with the implementation? When will the release be completed? These simple questions hardly can be answered without agile project management software. Let's see how TargetProcess answers these questions.

Are we doing well?

This is a rather generic question with a simple answer: "Check the Burn Down chart." You can clearly see how the team velocity changes during iterations and can predict the estimated velocity for the next iterations. TargetProcess even forecasts how many iterations will be required for the release completion.

Are there problems with the implementation in the current iteration?

The daily progress table really answers this question. The screenshot below illustrates a project with some problems. Most tasks are underestimated. For one particular User Story, the remaining time has already increased after just one day of work - perhaps due to a re-discovered or a poorly-documented requirement. With TargetProcess, you can detect problematic Tasks and User Stories and can take actions to fix the problems.

When will the release will be completed?

TargetProcess can answer the most important question in software development. This knowledge comes from the historical data analysis and the remaining work calculation. TargetProcess forecasts the release finish date and shows the current release and iteration progress.
