Burn Down chart
The team must be able to distinguish the current status of the work. One way of how to visualize it is the Burn Down Chart.
The Burndown chart displays the remaining story points that must be developed to a given date.
Days of the sprint are displayed on the X-axis. Y-axis displays a number of story points required to develop.
Ideal progress is represented by a white dashed line. The orange line displays actual progress.
If the orange line is above the white, progress is slower than expected. The orange line below the white indicates good progress.
The goal is to reach 0 story points at the end of the sprint.
Burn Up chart
Another way to display the sprint’s progress is the usage of the burnup chart. This chart displays story points developed to a given day vs. the total size of the effort to a given day.
It is good to visualize changes in the sprint backlog size.
Quick Statistics
Overall statistics of the sprint are displayed in the SideView.
