Release and project burndown tracking

Template for an Agile project

Sometimes I work in projects where team uses sprints, but deliverables are compiled over multiple sprints. In these cases, I have found it handy to do simple Release / Project burndown tracking. It helps facilitate a discussion with client and project stakeholders.

Relase Burndown

So, here is a template I use. It has the feature of  "dropping" the baseline when additions to the projects are made, showing the net effect of things discovered along the road.

It can be used by a Kanban team, Scrum team, well - any team :)

Thanks - a real helpful tool. You guys are really generous!

Re: Release and project burndown tracking

Excellent idea. Will show to PO.

Re: Release and project burndown tracking

Update: fixed issue with burndown progressing towards 0 instead of baseline + Easier update of progress.

Re: Release and project burndown tracking

Am I missing something? I tried to open the .xlxs link and it was a zip file filled with many xml files. The other .xls link opened to gibberish. I'm using ms office 2007.

Re: Release and project burndown tracking

I tested both files using firefox and MS Office 2007, they both worked. Give it another try :)
