Definition

The Burn Up Charts are also used as a progress indicators in Agile Project Management. A Burn-up Chart clearly shows both completed work and the project scope. Making it the inverse of the Burn-down chart (discussed here). At the end of each day, there is a visual representation of the amount of work completed and the overall amount of total work.

The ‘work done’ is represented by the vertical axis, and the ‘time’ is measured by the horizontal axis. The distance between the two lines is thus, the amount of work remaining. When the two lines eventually meet, the project is said to be completed.

Agile Project Manager | Glossary

The ‘Project Manager’ role and responsibility isn’t allocated to a single individual in the Agile field.  Due to the nature of Agile, the ‘Project Manager’ roles and responsibilities are shared among others working on the project. They can be the Team, Scrum Masters and Product Owner as well. The roles and responsibilities are not rigid according to hierarchy.

Agile projects tend to scale with Agile Project Management. Even when teams grow to incredible large sizes, it becomes necessary to introduce more points of coordination. Hence, larger projects sometimes do contain a centralized role of a ‘Project Manager’. However, the actual Project Management is still distributed to a large degree across the team.
