What is a burndown chart?
A burndown chart shows how much work is left in a sprint. The chart has two lines: the ideal line — a straight line from the total to zero — and the actual line with the real remaining work per day. Comparing them shows at a glance whether the team is ahead or behind.
How to use the generator
- Set the sprint length and total number of story points.
- Enter the remaining work for each day.
- The chart updates immediately; download it as a PNG afterwards.
Interpreting the chart
- Above the ideal line — more work remains than planned; the team is behind.
- Below the ideal line — the team is ahead of schedule.
- A flat line — no work is being completed; there may be a blocker.
