Agile Masterclass: Agile for Project Management - Creating a Burndown Chart

The lecture introduces burndown charts, explaining their use in tracking project progress. A scenario is presented where a project manager, Mike, must complete 10 tasks in 10 days. The burndown chart is described as a graph with time on the X-axis and work on the Y-axis. The lecture details how to interpret the chart, showing progress or lack thereof, and emphasizes its importance for team and leadership visibility. An activity is proposed to create a burndown chart in Excel, assuming no access to agile tools.
