The ‘Iteration Burndown’ displays the remaining work and the amount completed within the iteration. It is to be proactively anticipated whether the committed work will be able to get delivered by the iteration end date. It’s also useful during iteration retrospective meetings to help identify events during the iteration, or planning.
The features comprised include:
- Blue bars for remaining task hours
- Green bars for completed story points
- Ideal burndown rate is a black line, based on task estimate
- Hover over the bars/line to see detailed figures on current/past progress.
