Value based metrics such as stories developed (and tested) compared to stories remaining meet the criteria of simple and relevant. The evolving product is the primary measure of progress. Look at what has been built and tested! This is where we are in the project, missing functionality is what we need to still complete, directed by the business prioritization of features in the backlog. Agile reporting tools such as cumulative flow diagrams, burn up/down graphs, parking lot diagrams, QA stats, etc also play a role in explaining important project information.
