Work Insights: Use a burndown chart to track team effort
A burndown chart allows teams to see their effort over time. The chart shows the amount of work completed in a project or sprint and the total amount of work remaining.
Burndown charts can:
- Help predict a team's likelihood of completing their work on time.
- Provide visibility into any scope creep that’s occurring.
- Visualize your team's progress through a sprint or project, and help keep your team on track.
- Provide insight into team productivity; you can see how quickly your team works.
- Be used to create a budget burndown for a project.
Reading a burndown chart
A burndown chart includes the following elements:
- X-axis(horizontal axis): Total time within a project or sprint.
- Y-axis(vertical axis): Remaining effort needed to complete the project or sprint goal.
- Actual work remaining bars: Work or effort remaining in a project or sprint.
- Ideal work remaining line: If your bars are below this black line, your team is on track to finish on time.
