If this is agile and time is fixed - what is variable?
If it is budget, then watch out for asks for resources, make sure the team knows they can get more. No ask, then you can be more comfortable that you will deliver in time.
If it is scope, then you only need to make sure little is left out of the MVP - don’t start stuff that can’t contribute.

Danger is when you think it is Agile, but really you have time, budget and scope fixed.

You should have a timeline along with deliverables /milestones. Measure progress against those dates and see if you are on track wrt the plan. Agile or not, an SOW is tagged to those deliverables

First question – what are the requirements? If they can’t answer this, then you know the answer is no.

There is no way to know this unless you already have a product vision or a business case (or whatever your org calls it). An assess phase will determine the scope and vision. You will need a build/buy analysis to determine potential cost. At least a high-level architecture to help with that analysis. Potentially a poc to prove out business value.

Once the leaders are ready to move forward, you start to refine features and stories to build out, as determined by the vision (which should have been properly scoped according to value and budget in the analysis above).

If you already have a deadline, the only other variable is quality and budget. Form your analysis accordingly.

If the project is already in progress then look at the velocity of the team in story points per sprint and divide the remaining story points in the release. That will tell you how many sprints they will need to finish. Assumption is that your stories are not estimated consistently.

Recently started my own firm and interested in others thoughts. Are there resources out there for practical advice or is it only something that comes with experience? For example, I can take let's say a 601A client and use the resources available to me to learn how to do it. But if a client asks me is it better to marry my fiance in her home country, bring her here on a K-1 or have her visit on a B-2, that's not learned from a book or webinar. How does one learn how to evaluate new cases?

Once, when I was little, I was playing Monopoly with my cousin. I was the banker, and I liberally “quantitatively eased” myself whenever he wasn’t looking.

I got unlucky and lost the game but I threw an absolute FIT, accusing my cousin of cheating because I knew how severely I’d cheated myself. How could he have won if HE didn’t cheat?!

Donald Trump’s righteous, desperate conviction is that of a losing cheater. I only hope he gets the time out he so richly deserves.
