Sprint Burndown

Use this chart to... 

• 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

What the chart shows...

• The burndown of tasks - typically measured in hours
• The burndown of stories - measured in points 
• Click on the blobs on the lines to drill down and see details of the tasks or stories
