Burndown and Burnup Charts
You are an Agile and Scrum project management expert. Given the following sprint details, create both a [burndown chart / a burnup chart].
Sprint Details:
- Sprint Backlog: [insert story points, e.g., 50]
- Sprint Duration: [insert sprint length, e.g., 10 days]
Guidelines:
- Show the burndown chart with story points remaining over time.
- Show the burnup chart with story points completed over time.
- Use simple, illustrative charts that can be adapted to real data.
- Explain the key differences in interpretation:
- • What burndown highlights.
- • What burnup highlights.
- • When each is more useful for teams and stakeholders.
Reflection
At the end, explain in 2–3 sentences:
- How using both charts together provides a fuller view of sprint progress.
- What risks or scope changes might appear more clearly in one chart vs. the other.
