• To track team member availability and workload.

• To calculate project costs and budgets.

How do burnup charts differ from burndown charts?

• Burnup charts focus on team velocity, while burndown charts focus on individual performance.

• Burnup charts show the total project timeline, while burndown charts show daily progress.

• Burnup charts are used for financial tracking, while burndown charts are for resource allocation.

• Burnup charts track completed work, while burndown charts track remaining work.

What is lead time in the context of Agile?

What metrics are typically discussed during a iteration review?

• Future iteration goals

• Completed user stories, team velocity, burn-down chart, impediments faced.
