| The most important information about the status of the project is the updated release plan. The release plan defines |
| the current view of the release content and availability. Metrics, such as the team's velocity, can also be provided. |
| Typically, metrics are tracked for the purpose of helping the team improve some aspects of development they are having |
| problems with. These metrics can be presented as part of project status. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The velocity metric can be abused. Keep in mind that there is no valid comparison of velocities between teams. The most |
| important thing about a team's velocity is the stability of the velocity. This allows the team to predict what it can |
| accomplish. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Other meaningful metrics: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Defined stories over time, overlaid with completed stories |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Defined customer tests overlaid with running customer tests |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Number of unit tests tracked over time |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Unit test coverage |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| The team's significant metrics are recorded on flip chart paper and hung in the team's open workspace. |

| Since outside stakeholders do not participate in the daily activities of the team, it is important that the status of |
| the project should be communicated to them as often as possible. It lowers significantly the risk of disconnect between |
| the development team and the stakeholders. It also provides the team with data they can use to improve their |
| development process. Stakeholders should come to the open workspace and view the project status that is recorded on the |
| walls of the open workspace. They can experience the progress being made by the team first hand. |
