A burnup chart is a way to see how much work has been done over time. It keeps track of how far along user stories or things on the backlog are in terms of story points. Here’s how to make a burnup chart to show which story points have already been told:
1. What are the X-axis and Y-axis?
Time is shown on the X-axis, usually in cycles or sprints.
– The Y-axis shows the total number of story points that have been reached.
2. Write down the user stories or things on the backlog:
– Figure out what the project’s user stories or list items are.
– Give each user story a certain number of story points to show how big or hard it is.
3. Keep track of how many story points are done in each iteration: At the end of each iteration or sprint, figure out how many story points were done in that time.
– Add the story points that have already been told to the total on the Y-axis.
4. Put the info on the burnup chart:
– Put the total number of finished story points on the Y-axis and the number of iterations or sprints on the X-axis.
– Join the points of data to make a line or shape that shows the progress.
5. Add a goal line or curve: If you already know how many story points you want to finish, you can add a separate line or curve to show the progress you want to make. This can show if the team is on track to reach the goal or if changes need to be made.
6. Keep the burnup chart up-to-date: – As each iteration or sprint ends, add the new data points to the burnup chart. – This makes it possible to keep track of and see growth over time.
With a burnup chart, it’s easy to see which story points have been finished and how they add up over time. It shows progress visually and can help teams and other people understand how quickly the project will be finished and where it is going.
