Burndown Charts

Burndown charts show how much work still needs to be completed in issues or epics.

The burndown chart for issues and epics is available in Scrum and Kanban boards:

  1. Open the board.

  2. Click Reports.

  3. Click Issues Issues or Epic Epic.

  4. Click the Burndown Chart tab.

Scrum Boards

For a Scrum board, the chart for your active sprint is displayed.

  • To use a different sprint, click the Sprint drop-down.

  • To use a different estimate criterion, click the Burndown drop-down and select from Estimated Days, Story Points, or Number of Issues. The Y-axis in the chart reflects this setting.

The burndown chart displays the configured tracking statistic for the active sprint, start and end dates, the sprint capacity, and a guideline for completing the statistic you’re tracking in the sprint. The horizontal axis tracks time; the vertical axis represents your configured tracking ttatistic, either story points, estimation days, or number of issues. Use burndown charts to see the total work remaining and increase the accuracy for predicting the likelihood that you'll achieve the sprint's goal. By tracking the remaining work throughout the iteration, your team can manage its progress and respond appropriately, especially if things don’t go as planned. If time tracking is enabled for the board, the burndown chart always shows the number of remaining days and the amount of time spent.

A burndown chart includes all of the sprint's issues, those that’ve been completed as well as those that are still being worked on. Mapping the status for these issues to your board determines when an issue is considered completed or not completed.

The bottom of the page shows a history, a table of events associated with the issues, including issues that still haven't been completed.

Kanban Boards

For a Kanban board, the chart displays your active issues. To see issues for an archived version, click the Issues list and select the desired one.

The burndown chart displays the configured tracking statistic for the active issues. The horizontal axis tracks time; the vertical axis represents your configured tracking statistic, either story points, estimation days, or the number of issues. Use burndown charts to see how much work remains to be done. This will increase your ability to accurately predict the likelihood that you'll achieve the goal. By tracking the remaining work throughout the iteration, your team can manage its progress and respond appropriately if things don’t go as planned. If you enable time tracking for the board, the burndown chart always shows the number of days remaining and the amount of time spent thus far.

The burndown chart includes all issues, those that have been completed and those that are still pending. Mapping these statuses to your board determines when an issue is considered completed or not completed.
