The steering committee has asked a project manager experienced in agile to provide an indication of the time remaining on a medium-sized project. What tools can be used to provide this information?

A release burndown chart tracks the remaining work (typically in story points or ideal days) for an entire release and projects when that work will be completed based on the team's historical velocity, thus indicating the time remaining.

Analyzing a business requirements document is part of initial planning and understanding scope, but it does not directly provide a forecast of the time remaining in an agile project.

While story points for remaining user stories represent the amount of work left, they don't directly provide a time indication without being coupled with velocity (as in a burndown chart or velocity chart).

Surrogate measurements are indirect metrics, which might be used in the absence of direct data, but a release burndown chart is a standard and direct agile tool for this purpose.
