Burnup Chart

Chart showing completed work rising over time against a separate total scope line.

Definition

Because scope is plotted separately, burnups make scope changes visible and support release forecasting.

Example

The completed line rises while the scope line jumps after a stakeholder adds features.

Exam tip

Prefer burnup when scope changes frequently.
