Burndown charts
Warning
You can only use burn down charts on Scrum boards.
A burn down chart shows the issue completion rate and the remaining amount of work within a single sprint. Burn down charts are useful for evaluating whether the team will be able to solve the planned issues in time.
The chart's vertical axis shows the total workload left in Story Points, while the horizontal axis shows time. An ideal burnout chart should be close to a straight line: it should start at a point with a maximum scope of work (the total of all the issues in the sprint) on day 1 of the sprint and end at zero on the last day of the sprint.
To view the chart:
-
Choose a board from the Boards menu in the top panel.
-
Go to the Burn down chart tab.
-
From the drop-down list, select the sprint whose issues you want to add to the chart.
