Use this chart to...

  • Indicate how far down the backlog a team will get by a specified date.
  • Focus stakeholders' attention on the range of functionality between the probable scope and the possible scope lines.

What the chart shows...

  • The range of functionality that is likely to be delivered by a date that is specified in the chart settings 
    • This can be either a specific date or a set x weeks in the future
  • Using the historical completion rate (velocity) of the team it is possible to give two key lines
    • The probable scope, which is similar to using the pessimistic line in the burn-up chart
    • The possible scope, based on the optimistic line in the burn-up 
  • Using a range like this is a) more truthful and b) better at engaging stakeholders in the necessary (ongoing) discussion about priorities in the backlog
