Second week-Burndown chart information

1. Function and basic description: Burndown chart (burn down chart) is a visual representation of the work that needs to be done before the project is completed. The Burndown chart has a y-axis (work) and x-axis (time). Ideally, the chart is a downward curve, with the remaining work completed, "Burnt" to 0. Burndown charts provide a public view of the work progress of project team members and business owners. This word is often used for agile programming.

2. Elements:

1) visibility, visual display of project progress and backlog completion

2) have a risk estimate to remind management and stakeholders to complete the situation, where is the bottleneck?

3) with measurable, intuitive display of the time required for the current project

3. Examples of Burndown graphs are as follows:

The horizontal axis is the work date, the ordinate estimates the remaining workload, each point represents the estimated amount of work to be spent on that day, and all points are connected sequentially through the polyline to form the trend line for estimating the remaining work. There is also a control line for the initial estimate of the workload to the end date of the line, generally in different colors to draw the top two lines.

The rules for this figure are as follows:

(1) If the trend line below the control line, indicating a smooth progress, there is a relatively large probability of the scheduled or early completion;

(2) If the trend line above the control line, indicating that there is a relatively large probability of extension, this time need to pay attention to progress.

Note that the trend line is not always down, and it is possible to uplink, that is, the wrong estimate or omission of the task, it is estimated that the remaining work is likely to rise one day.
