Track the Sprint Progress

You can use the Sprint Backlog & Charts to track the progress of the sprint and identify any risk. The Sprint Backlog & Charts page displays hours burndown or points burndown to provide a comprehensive report.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click Agile, and from Sprint Tracking, click Sprint Backlog & Charts.
  2. Select the Product, Release, and Sprint from the drop-down list.

    The Burndown and Allocation Chart appears for the selected sprint.

    Hours Burndown

    An hours burndown chart compares the actual hours that the team burned on user stories against the expected burndown for the sprint.

    The figure shows the burnup and burndown line on hours burndown chart

    Points Burndown

    A points burndown chart compares the remaining story points that the team completed against the expected burndown.

You have successfully planned and tracked a sprint.

At the end of a sprint, update the status of the backlog items to closed or move the incomplete items to the next sprint. The scrum master conducts a retrospective meeting with the team to discuss and identify the steps to improve the process.
