Similar to the burn-down report, this one emphasizes the work that has already been completed, rather than what's left to do. It's a valuable tool for tracking daily progress, ensuring task completion, and comparing your team's achievements to your planned goals.
Here's what you can do with this report:
Track your team's daily progress and see how much work they've finished.
Use the advice provided to complete tasks or estimates that are still undone.
Easily compare your team's progress to the suggested plan.
Save or share the report as needed.
You have the option to export this report as well.
How to read the burn-up chart
To read the burn-up chart, you must have data. Start a sprint from the backlog. For example, if you begin a sprint with 2 items, the burn-up report will show your progress.
Now go to the burnup report and it looks like the following:-
Let's categorize the burn-up report into four distinct sections:
Sprints & estimation field
Start date & end date
Graph data
Tabular data
Sprints & estimation field
In the sprint dropdown, you can select any completed or ongoing sprint to view its progress.
In the estimation field, you can choose whether you want to see progress in terms of estimates or item counts.
Start date & Due date
Here, you'll find the clear start and due dates for the selected sprint, providing a well-defined timeframe.
Graph data
Our Prerequisites are:-
Sprint needs to be started : Date: 10 Oct, 2023 - 16 Oct, 2023
Estimated field : Item Count
To track your team's work, examine the graph, which consists of four key components:
These are the following:-
Completed items: Shown in green, these represent finished tasks.
Guideline: In orange, it sets a target for your team.
Total items: Displayed in blue, these represent all the items.
Dashed black line: This line marks the current date.
On the Y-axis, you'll see "Item Count," and on the X-axis, "Date." The due date aligns with your sprint's start and end dates.
Hovering over the blue circle provides details about specific activities, such as the sprint's start date and the number of issues within it.
Tabular data
The report also provides tabular data, where you have two options:
Completed items
This section displays only the items that have been completed.
When you finish an item on the board, it appears in the completed items section. You can view details such as the item's name, ID, icon, epic name, assignee, status, and estimated workload.
Scope changes log
The "Scope Change Log" is the final part of the report. It records any updates made to your project after the sprint begins. It initially shows the sprint's start, the number of items, completed items, and total items.
After starting the sprint, any changes, such as completed items, are documented in the scope change log.
Item and Sprint Details After Completing an Item:
Date: Displays the date when a specific event occurred. In our case, it shows the date when an item was completed.
Event name: Indicates the type of activity performed after starting the sprint.
Item Count: Displays the number of items, and if there's only one, it shows the item's summary.
Before starting the sprint, there were 0 completed items. After the sprint began, we completed one item. This is why you see the change from 0 to 1, indicating the count of completed items.
If you delete that completed item, the change will be from 1 back to 0. In other words, completed items will be considered as 0 again.
Total items :Reflects changes when you add, delete, or move items within the sprint. Completing one item impacts this count.
Effects on the Burn-Up Graph After Completing an Item
The green completion bar moves from 0 to 1 after an item is finished.
The item counts change based on post-sprint activities. For example, deleting a completed item reduces the total count from 2 to 1, and the completed item count changes from 1 to 0.
