Figure: The developer says he is 90% done... the report shows 25% tested, but 0% passed!

Tip: Set this up on a daily schedule so the Scrum Team get this in their inbox each day.

Suggestion for Microsoft #1: Add a Summary Number in large font at the top, eg. 55% complete.

Suggestion for Microsoft #2: Add this great report to the Microsoft Scrum TFS Process Template.

Where are we at?

"TFS’s Stories Overview Report is the best tool to solve the common question project managers ask the developers “Where are we at?”

The problem with the answer is that developers almost always say 90%"
