What is a burndown chart?
A Burndown Chart is a visual tool that shows how much work remains in a project or sprint over time. It helps teams track their progress and determine if they are on track to complete all tasks by the deadline.
- How to use it:
- At the start of each sprint, use a Burndown Chart to set the total amount of work and the timeline for completion.
- Update the chart daily to track how much work has been completed and how much remains.
- Use the chart to adjust your pace if the team is behind schedule, ensuring there’s enough time to complete all tasks.
- Tip: If your Burndown Chart shows little progress, investigate possible roadblocks or Bottlenecks that might be slowing the team down.
