What is 'burndown chart” used in Agile?

A burndown chart is a visual tool used in Agile project management to track the progress of a team in completing work over time.

📊 Purpose of a Burndown Chart:
To show how much work remains versus time available during a sprint (short iteration) or an entire project (release).

✅ Key Elements of a Burndown Chart:
X-axis: Time (e.g., days in a sprint)

Y-axis: Remaining work (usually in story points, hours, or tasks)

Ideal Work Line: A straight line showing expected progress (from full workload to zero)

Actual Work Line: A line showing real progress (burndown) over time

🔍 Why Use a Burndown Chart?
Visualizes progress clearly

Highlights scope creep (if the line goes up)

Identifies risks early (if the team is behind)

Keeps team accountable during daily stand-ups

📌 Example Use:
In a 2-week sprint, a burndown chart might start with 100 story points. Each day, as tasks are completed, the remaining story points decrease. By the end of the sprint, the goal is to reach zero.
