Agile Sports - Burndown Charts

In Agile Sports, burndown charts are used for tracking progress toward achieving the key performance metrics identified by the lead analyst in the Performance Metrics Log. Burn down charts are graphical representations of team performance metrics left to achieve versus the schedule. The outstanding key metrics to achieve (or backlog) is often on the vertical axis, with time along the horizontal axis. The definition for successfully achieving a key metric must be understood by all stakeholders. Remember, the metrics in the Performance Metrics Log are key metrics that the lead analyst identified as critical for achieving synergy and reaching team goals. Burndown charts allow the team to predict when they will be playing at the level needed to achieve their season goals. Burndown Charts are part of the inspect and adapt functionality.
