|
||||
|
||||
Burndown and burnup charts are used to measure progress of a project-- usually a development sprint under the Agile methodology. Both charts visually represent work versus time.
|
||||
|
||||
Burndown charts show how much work is left to be done versus the amount of time remaining. The Y axis represents work left to be done-- usually relating to a time estimate assigned to each task, e.g. story points-- and the X axis represents time left. Two lines are used; the first-- "Ideal Work Remaining Line"-- represents an ideal burndown, where each day an amount of work proportional to the total amount of time is completed, resulting in a straight line. The second "Actual Work Remaining Line" is used to plot actual progress as taks move through development to a done state. An example of a burndown chart is shown below.
