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.
