Definition
The burndown chart is a visual representation of the items completed from the Sprint Backlog, and for many in-person teams this might be captured on a wall or whiteboard, and for virtual teams this might be captured in a commonly-used charting, spreadsheet, or project management application. It is intended to be a quick and easy way to view the progress of a team at a glance.
The burndown chart rarely encompasses items from beyond only the current Sprint Backlog, though in some cases it might also include a view of the larger Product Backlog list.
