Burnup Chart

A visual chart showing the cumulative amount of work finished as a product release progresses toward delivery.

Key Points

  • Plots completed work over time to show progress toward a release.
  • Usually includes a total scope line, making scope changes visible.
  • Supports forecasting completion by projecting current progress trends.
  • Differs from a burndown chart, which tracks remaining work instead of completed work.

Example

A Scrum team tracks story points delivered each sprint. The burnup chart shows the cumulative points completed rising each iteration, while the total scope line adjusts when new stories are added. By comparing the slope of completed work to the scope line, the product owner estimates when the team will reach the release goal.
