Sprint Burnup charts
- 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.
