Help the team adjust its focus during a sprint and intervene if the sprint looks like it is going off track.
Increase awareness of the story burndown.
Most other burn-downs only show task burndown, meaning that the team might be unaware it is doing mini-waterfalls - where all the stories are completed on the last day of the sprint.
It is better to be completing stories regularly through the sprint.
