Question

It would be cool if the burn down chart predicted what the future burn down would look like.

It makes sense that the appearance of the lines should change after the current date so that it's clear they're only a forecast (maybe change color or use a dotted line).

It seems to me that you already have the data for this because you're estimating when the project will complete in other reports. I would think the 95% hours in the Burn Down chart correlate to the 95% probability point on the Completion Date (Probability Distribution).

Answer 1

Agreed. That sounds useful, and it would probably not be misleading to draw a dotted line between the most recent X% hours point (e.g. 18 Feb, 240 projected hours) and the X% completion point (e.g. 8 Mar, 0 projected hours).
