burn chart

A chart that visualizes either the amount of work left in a fixed time period or the amount finished toward a product release or project deliverable.

Key Points

  • Includes burndown (work remaining over time) and burnup (work completed toward total scope).
  • Time is on the x-axis; effort or scope (story points, hours, or backlog items) is on the y-axis.
  • Updated frequently (often daily) to show trends, forecast completion, and reveal scope changes or blockers.
  • Used for sprint timeboxes and for releases; promotes transparency with stakeholders.

Example

A Scrum team in a 2-week sprint starts with 120 story points. Each day they update a burndown chart to show points remaining. Mid-sprint, 10 points are added to the backlog; the burndown shows a plateau, while a burnup chart would show the completed work line rising and a separate scope line increasing, clarifying the impact of scope change.

PMP Example Question

During a two-week sprint, the team needs a simple visual that shows how much work remains each day and helps forecast whether the sprint goal will be met. Which tool should they use?

  1. Cumulative flow diagram
  2. Burn chart
  3. Gantt chart
  4. Earned value S-curve

Correct Answer: B - Burn chart

Explanation: A burn chart displays remaining work in a timebox (burndown) or work completed toward a release (burnup), making it ideal for daily sprint tracking and forecasting.
