Use Sprint Burnup cards to track scope changes throughout one sprint. See at a glance if your team is at risk of not completing the sprint's estimated work. 

Our new Sprint cards offer improved accuracy and performance! Existing Sprint cards and legacy Burnup cards are still available.

What you'll need

• The Sprints and Sprints Points ClickApps must be enabled in your Workspace by an owner or admin. 
• Sprint cards are available on the Business Plan and above.

Sprint Burnup cards

Sprint Burnup cards are time-based. Time-based cards display your tasks differently. Learn more about time-based cards.

Cards are used to build custom Dashboards so you can report on and visualize your team's progress.

Burnup cards compare the work your team committed to finishing over three or more sprints to the amount they finished. Burnup is calculated using the following values:

• Y-axis: Represents the measure of effort that's configured in your default Workspace or Sprint Folder Sprint settings.
  • You can measure effort using Sprint Points and Time Estimates.

• X-axis: Represents your current sprint by default. You can adjust the x-axis to reflect another already-completed sprint. 

Sprint Burnup charts

Each Burnup card displays data in a Burnup chart. Sprint Burnup charts help you visualize scope changes over the course of one sprint. The chart's Guideline sets the ideal pace for the completion of work.

Burnup card calculations account for all tasks, subtasks, nested subtasks, and Tasks and Subtasks in Multiple Lists in the source sprint.

Anyone with permissions to view the chart sees the same data, regardless of their permissions for the related Folders and tasks.

The data below is expressed as Sprint Points or a Time Estimate unless specified.

Above the line chart, Total effort, Guideline, Completed, and Started display the most recent values of the corresponding data below.

Hover over the chart to view more detail. Move your mouse across the chart to see the following data over the duration of the sprint:

• Forecasted: The amount of estimated work for each sprint. 
• Total effort: Measures the total amount of work in a sprint at a point in time. This includes scope changes, whether a new task is added after the sprint begins or an existing task is re-estimated.
  • This is the net change in effort divided by the forecast.
  • Expressed by a green positive or negative percentage representing net change.
  • The chart above shows a sprint where total effort has changed because Sprint Points for a task were re-estimated after the sprint began.
• Guideline: Represented by an upward-trending gray line. It represents ideal progress toward the completion of work based on the tasks planned when your forecast is locked.
  • The guideline is calculated by dividing the forecast by the number of days in the sprint.
  • The guideline percentage is calculated by dividing the current guideline by the forecast.
  • You must lock your forecast for the guideline to calculate.
• Completed: The work completed cumulatively throughout the sprint divided by the forecast.
  • Calculated when tasks and subtasks are set to a Done or Complete status.
• Started: The measure of effort expressed as the percentage of the forecasted work that has been started or completed.
  • Calculated when tasks and subtasks are set to an Active status.
• Completed daily: The amount of work completed in each 24 hours.  

For current sprints, the chart data updates in real time. You can also manually refresh data by clicking the refresh icon in the upper-right of the chart.

You must lock your forecast to indicate the end of sprint planning. This cannot be undone. Values for forecasted and guideline are calculated using the tasks added to the sprint prior to locking your forecast.

Drill-down view in Burnup charts

Open drill-down view in a Burnup chart to see more details. Drill-down view helps you understand the tasks and effort behind the calculations.

To open drill-down view, hover over the top of the chart and click the Total effort, Completed, or Started section. You'll see the tasks from that sprint alongside the Burnup chart. This allows you to look at task status, Assignee, Priority, and measure of effort for insights into your team's progress.
