| Ideally tracking stories is much better than tracking tasks even at the iteration level since the stories can be proved |
| to work through the acceptance tests and tasks can't. However, when there are few stories in the iteration, some teams |
| also use tasks to help them gain a sense of progress. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The tracker simply tracks how many tasks have been done during the iteration and how many are left. This information is |
| readily available during the stand-up meetings. Half way through the iteration, the team should have done about half |
| the tasks (in terms of the task cost estimates). If not, it is a sign that the iteration plan needs some tweaking. If |
| the team is not going as fast as planned, the tweaking may consist of removing one of the stories from the iteration. |
| If they are going faster than planned, then the team can ask the customer to bring a new story into the iteration. This |
| is how the team iteration velocity will fluctuate over time. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| On a regular basis, the tracker presents the progress the team is making in the iteration. This information can be |
| presented in the form of a big, visible chart hanging in the team's open workspace. Progress is often presented as the |
| number of tasks or stories done vs. planned for the iteration. |
