Burndown Chart
A burndown chart is a visual tool used to track the progress of a project, often in software development. It displays the amount of work remaining over time. The vertical axis shows the amount of work (like tasks or hours), while the horizontal axis represents time (like days or weeks). As the project progresses, the line on the chart moves down towards zero, indicating that work is being completed. Essentially, it helps teams see if they are on track to finish their project on time and adjust their efforts if necessary.

A Burndown chart is a visual tool used in project management, particularly in agile methodologies, to track progress over time. It displays the amount of work remaining against time, typically shown as a downward slope. The horizontal axis represents time (days, weeks, etc.), while the vertical axis indicates the amount of work left, often measured in tasks or story points. As the project progresses, the line moves down towards zero, showing how much work has been completed. This helps teams assess their progress and adjust their efforts to meet deadlines effectively.
