The project sponsor wants to know when an in-flight adaptive project will be done. Which of the following metrics will help the team to predict how much longer the project will take?
✅ Average Velocity
Measures the amount of work completed in a fixed iteration (e.g., story points per sprint).
Helps predict how many sprints remain to finish the remaining backlog.
✅ Cycle Time
Measures the time it takes for a single item (e.g., a user story) to go from start to finish.
Useful in Kanban or flow-based systems to forecast delivery timelines.
Combining these gives you a predictive model:
How much work remains?
How fast is the team completing work?
→ Therefore, how much time is likely remaining?
Why the other options are less suitable:
A. Risk burnup and control chart
Useful for tracking risk and process stability but not directly for predicting project duration.
B. Customer satisfaction index and workload
Important for quality and resource planning but not predictive of project completion time.
C. Average burndown and velocity
Burndown charts show remaining work but average burndown is not a standard metric; velocity alone is insufficient without cycle time.
