Generally, I prefer the burn-up to the burn-down.

Here’s a nice post on the subject: http://niksilver.com/2008/01/19/burn-up-and-burn-down-charts/

These charts are used for planning and should always reflect reality. They are not intended to measure team performance. They do motivate, but they can also inform management of the need to cut (or sometimes even increase) scope.

Hi Martin – I agree, the chart is much more meaningful at the sprint level. As a first release, we are just going to use it at this level.

I have never used a Release Burn Down chart myself, but I do hear a load of people talking about them. Thanks for bouncing this idea around.

Adam

PS. Happy Canada Day!

Most projects I have worked with use the burn down chart at the Sprint level as it provides them timely information on the health of their sprint. Using the burn down chart at the release level provides you information on the performance of your team over time but since many factors can impact the team’s performance, the release level chart may not always be as meaningful.

Hi There – This is a nice, concise blog – I look forward to reading more of your posts!!

We are currently building an Agile Development Solution and the burn-down chart will be core functionality. Do you find that you use burn down charts both at a Release and an Iteration/Sprint level?
