Burndown chart

Common card · No. 365021

A burndown chart or burn-down chart is a graphical representation of work left to do versus time. The outstanding work (or backlog) is often on the vertical axis, with time along the horizontal. A burndown chart is a run chart of remaining work. It is useful for predicting when all of the work will be completed. It is often used in agile software development methodologies such as Scrum. However, burndown charts can be applied to any project containing measurable progress over time. Remaining work can be represented in terms of either time or story points (a sort of arbitrary unit). Burn charts can be used to present the project's team velocity. Velocity is a measure that represents the productivity rate, within a predefined interval, for which deliverables are created, validated and approved.
