Burnup Chart

What is a burnup chart?

A Burnup Chart tracks how much work has been completed versus how much total work remains. Unlike a Burndown Chart, it focuses on what has been achieved, providing a more positive view of project progress. It’s especially useful for projects with changing scopes.

• How to use it:
  • Use a Burnup Chart to track the total amount of work in a project and how much has been completed at any given time.
  • Update the chart regularly to reflect new tasks added to the project, helping you manage scope creep.
  • Celebrate milestones when the Burnup Chart shows significant progress, keeping the team motivated.
  • Tip: A Burnup Chart is great for visually communicating progress to stakeholders, especially when the project scope evolves.
