Estimated completion date in roadmap epic bar

• Refer to epic for context.
• Based on &76:
  • Epics with weights, and in particular open weights.
  • Groups with capacity.
  • Groups assigned to epics.
• We have an algorithm to calculate an estimate when epics will be finished.
• We display this estimated completion date for these epics on the roadmap. So an epic will be in general, estimated to be completed early or completed late.
• We likely don't want to display this date information on the epic itself, because it will be determined by the algorithm, which should be only relevant in the context of a roadmap view.

Rough outline of algorithm

• Look at a given roadmap view of epics.
• For a given group that has been assigned to at least one of the epics in the roadmap view, assume that it's capacity will contribute to that epic going forward.
• Assume that if multiple groups are assigned to an epic, then they contribute uniformly to the epic's remaining weight.
• Based on the assumptions above, you would calculate when an epic is done.
• This is calculated when we render the roadmap view.
• Pending further details and discussion. We need to consider how to do this calculation technically, what is reasonable, and if we need to make any further simplifying assumptions.
