Frequently Asked Questions

What does a flat line mean in a burndown?+
It means no work is being completed—either because the team is blocked, or the tasks are too large to close quickly.
Why use a Burnup chart?+
Burnup charts show both 'Total Scope' and 'Completed Work,' making it very easy to see if scope was added mid-project.
Is this only for software?+
Any agile team using points or tasks can benefit from visualizing their daily progress.
