Reports
Burndown graphs show the trend of work remaining across time in a Sprint, a release or a product.
The source of raw data is the Sprint Backlog and the Product Backlog, with work remaining tracked on
the vertical axis and the time periods (days of a Sprint or Sprints) tracked on the horizontal axis.
The relevancy of the reports will be directly related to how up-to-date the Team keep their backlogs.
Scrum reports allow a Team to plan and report on:
- Planned product backlog and releases
- Revised product backlog and releases
- Complete analysis of any changes in backlog, priorities, estimates
- Analysis of productivity
- Progress toward release
- Identify actions to improve

Project Portal Dashboard
In addition to the main reports, a set of smaller reports is used to populate the Project Portal.
This provides a Dashboard showing progress with the Project and the current Sprint.
The Portal can be accessed via Team Explorer, by right-clicking on the Team Project name.
