# 5 Sprint Burn down chart


A sprint burn down chart helps to track the progress of work, and to make appropriate dec

isions as the sprint progresses. The 'Y' axis shows the 'effort' required to complete the balance work in tyhe sprint and the 'x' axis, the number of days of the sprint. The objective is to make the effort required to complete the sprint zero on or before the sprint end date.

In the conventional project management, we use the earned value management. The earned value chart focuses on the work completed so far. In the case of a burn down chart, the focus is on balance effort required to complete the pending activities.

Collabteam feature

Collabteam has the sprint burn down feature. The burn down is derived from the 'balance effort' against the tasks, which the team members updates regularly.
