Burndown Chart

A chart that displays how much work remains against the time left in a timebox, typically updated daily.

Key Points

  • Plots remaining work (e.g., story points, tasks, hours) against days in the iteration.
  • Helps assess if the team is on track to finish by the end of the timebox.
  • Often includes an ideal trend line; the actual line may rise if scope is added.
  • Updated frequently to promote transparency and guide forecasting and decisions.

Example

A Scrum team plans 120 story points for a 10-day sprint. Each day, they update the burndown chart with the remaining points. Mid-sprint, 10 points are added, and the actual line bumps up, signaling increased scope. The team replans to ensure the most valuable work still finishes by day 10.

PMP Example Question

Which artifact primarily shows the amount of work remaining over time within a sprint or timebox?

  1. Burnup chart
  2. Burndown chart
  3. Cumulative flow diagram
  4. Gantt chart

Correct Answer: B — Burndown chart

Explanation: A burndown chart tracks remaining work versus time in a timebox, enabling quick assessment of progress toward completion.

ICS/OT Incident Response Drills and Exercises

An incident response plan is only a theory until the people who must use it have run it under pressure. This course helps OT engineers, operations leaders, IT responders, and security teams turn a plan on paper into a tested capability.

Define safe states and manual fallback before an incident forces the decision. Build escalation paths, tabletop exercises, and scenarios that expose the gaps a document review cannot find.

Then turn the results into evidence: an after-action report, owned improvements, recovery checks, and a drill cadence that keeps the program alive after the exercise ends.

Build an ICS/OT cybersecurity foundation that fits the real environment

Standard IT controls can disrupt the industrial systems they are meant to protect. Learn how to assess OT risk, design zones and conduits, apply IEC 62443 security levels, use MITRE ATT&CK for ICS, and establish passive asset visibility without risking production. Eight reconstructed incidents connect attacker techniques to the controls that failed, giving you the vocabulary and judgment to make credible security decisions from day one.
