Iteration #9 Performance

• Performance Highlights
  • Team completed 51 story points across 19 features which resulted in a decreased average team velocity of 51 story points per iteration.
  • Average team velocity rate dropped 4% from the previous iteration.
  • Decline in average team velocity caused the Forecasted Date to Completion of Development to increase by 1 iteration from November 19 to December 05.
  • Despite the decline in average team velocity, point closure increased 10% from the previous iteration.

• Release Highlights
  • At the conclusion of Iteration #9, given the historical velocity performance values of 30,32,33,46,51,63,68,74,75, the Metro Team has a median velocity of 51 and there is a 90% likelihood that the actual velocity will fall between 32 and 74.
    • Pessimistic Release Scenario - With a velocity performance of 32 development would be completed no earlier than 17 iterations on March 07, 2014.
    • Expected Release Scenario - With a velocity performance of 51 development would be completed in 11 iterations on December 06, 2013.
    • Optimistic Release Scenario - With a velocity performance of 74 development would be completed no later than 8 iterations on October 23, 2013.

• Quality Highlights
  • The quality performance from the regression testing across Iterations #1 - #8 is as follows:
    • 90% pass rate.
    • 10% fail rate.
    • 88% test coverage.

• Feature Completeness Highlights
  • At the conclusion of Iteration #9, 44% of Feature Stories are Incomplete - development finished in a previous iteration but contain blocking defects and/or change requests.
  • 14% of the current Defect & Change Backlog has yet to be related to a completed Feature Story.
