Burnup charts

Charts


We built and have been developing the app to solve the limitations of existing reporting solutions, including the built-in reporting in Jira. We like to say that we eat our own dog food because we experienced those limitations by ourselves in our day-to-day software delivery practice.

Jira Built-in Burnup Chart

The Burnup Chart report is part of your Jira’s standard reporting. This report is automatically created for each Scrum Board, which means it’s tightly connected with a particular Scrum Board and can’t be added as a gadget to the Jira Dashboard.

The report provides four graphs combined on the one view:

  • Work scope - shows the cumulative amount of remaining work and how it changes over time.

  • Completed Work - shows the cumulative amount of completed work and how it changes over time.

  • Guideline - shows how the completed work should ideally change over time.

When the project has been completed, the lines will meet.

 

Major benefits of Agile Reports and Gadgets' Burnup charts

 

  1. Build burnup charts for team and cross-team levels.

  2. Select your Scrum, Kanban boards, Program, and Portfolio issues or a mix of them as a data source.

  3. Know how a team (or team of teams) progresses towards a delivery goal - filter by release, epic, or custom JQL.

  4. Get more information with the revisioned Burnup chart:

    1. Remaining work instead of meaningless work scope

    2. Completed work showing progress by sprints or other time intervals

    3. What-if-scenario forecasting based on past traction and custom data

  5. Create insightful reports and share them with your colleagues.

  6. Share charts as gadgets using Jira dashboards and Confluence pages.

Minor (but still important) benefits

  • Choose how many sprints or time intervals you want to see on a chart.

  • Choose whether to show active and future sprints.

  • Choose whether to include sub-tasks.

  • See progress data over bigger time intervals, like months or quarters.

  • Export your data to CSV, PNG, or PDF.
