How to Create a Release Burn-Down Chart Using ConceptDraw PRO

The Agile methodology provides project teams the ability to quickly adapt the project to the current situation and thus achieve maximum productivity. According the Scrum method the steps needed to fulfill the project goal breaks down by using short sprints or iterations. The iterations together with an extensive collaboration can increase productivity by better understanding the entire flow of a project. A release burn-down chart is used to track a progress on a Scrum project. The ConceptDraw Scrum Workflow Solution makes it easy for Agile project team to build any professional Scrum diagram such as a Release velocity chart, Release burn-down chart, Sprint burn-down chart, or a Team velocity chart.
The vector stencils library "Scrum charts" contains 4 templates: release burndown chart, sprint burndown chart, release velocity chart and team velocity chart. Use it to design your agile software development charts and infographics.
"A burn down chart is a graphical representation of work left to do versus time. The outstanding work (or backlog) is often on the vertical axis, with time along the horizontal. That is, it is a run chart of outstanding work. It is useful for predicting when all of the work will be completed. It is often used in agile software development methodologies such as Scrum. However, burn down charts can be applied to any project containing measurable progress over time.
Outstanding work can be represented in terms of either time or story points." [Burn down chart. Wikipedia]
The burn down and velocity charts sample "Design elements - Scrum charts" is included in the Scrum solution from the Project Management area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

Scrum process work items and workflow

Teams working with Scrum methodology use the product backlog items (PBIs), bug work item types (WITs), reports and dashboards. SCRUM Workflow solution for ConceptDraw PRO software offers collection of samples, variety of predesigned objects, clipart and graphic elements, a set of Scrum process work items and workflow which are developed for agile teams working using Scrum.
The vector stencils library "Scrum artifacts" contains 52 icons.
Use this clipart set to design your agile software development diagrams and infographics with ConceptDraw PRO software.
"Product backlog
The product backlog comprises an ordered list of requirements that a scrum team maintains for a product. It consists of features, bug fixes, non-functional requirements, etc.—whatever must be done to successfully deliver a viable product. The product owner orders the product backlog items (PBIs) based on considerations such as risk, business value, dependencies, and date needed. ...
Sprint backlog
The sprint backlog is the list of work the development team must address during the next sprint. The list is derived by the scrum team selecting product backlog items from the top of the product backlog until the development team feels it has enough work to fill the sprint. This is done by the development team asking "Can we also do this?" and adding product backlog items to the sprint backlog. The development team should keep in mind its past performance assessing its capacity for the new sprint, and use this as a guide line of how much "effort" they can complete.
The product backlog items may be broken down into tasks by the development team. Tasks on the sprint backlog are never assigned; rather, tasks are signed up for by the team members as needed according to the set priority and the development team member skills. This promotes self-organization of the development team, and developer buy-in. ...
Sprint burn-down chart
The sprint burndown chart is a public displayed chart showing remaining work in the sprint backlog. Updated every day, it gives a simple view of the sprint progress. ...
Release burn-down chart
The release burndown chart is the way for the team to track progress and provide visibility. The release burndown chart is updated at the end of each sprint by the scrum master. The horizontal axis of the release burndown chart shows the sprints; the vertical axis shows the amount of work remaining at the start of each sprint." [Scrum (software development). Wikipedia]

Sprint Planning Meeting Agenda

Scrum is a framework that allows to solve the radically different tasks, from the development of complex IT products to the creation a reasonable to-do list. The sprint is a basic concept in Scrum, it is an iteration during which is created the functional growth of software. The duration of each sprint is defined by the scrum team individually, based on the tasks, objectives, requirements and composition, which gives to the development process the predictability and flexibility, usually it takes from one to six weeks. The Sprint planning meeting occurs at the beginning of each new sprint, with the participation of the product owners, the scrum master and the entire scrum team. During the Sprint planning meeting is determined the amount of work, the list of tasks, the tasks are broken into the subtasks and their implementation is discussed, at this the tasks are estimated in man-hours. The Mind Map visualizing the Sprint planning meeting agenda was created in ConceptDraw MINDMAP software with help of PM solutions included to ConceptDraw Solution Park.

Task Board

Scrum is a widely used Agile framework for completing the complex projects. Originally invented for software development teams, it is now successfully applied for any innovative scope of work and any business industry. The Task board is an integral part and the most popular tool of the Scrum method. It is a simple, but powerful tool that is usually represented as a table consisting of rows and columns. The Task board contains the columns To Do, Work In Process, To Verify, Done and the set of tasks, each task starts at the To Do column. So, each team participant can see at a glance on a Task board which tasks are currently in work and which are already completed. The Task board reflects the current status of the project and moreover lets detect the problem situations, and then take promptly the needed measures. ConceptDraw MINDMAP software offers the powerful tools to depict the Task board in a form of Mind Map, to visualize Agile management methodologies Scrum and Kanban, and their hybrid Scrum-ban.

Sprint Review (Demo)

There are many popular project management methods, among them Agile, Scrum, Kanban, Six Sigma, and others. Sprint is one of the main terms, it is an iteration or a working cycle in Scrum methodology, that continues from weeks to months, and during which is created a working version of a given product or its item that has a great value for a customer. The represented Mind Map is designed at ConceptDraw MINDMAP software and demonstrates the Sprint Review (Demo) meeting agenda. You can easily modify it, if needed, and use as a convenient template for all Sprint Review meetings. Numerous PM solutions included to ConceptDraw Solution Park and represented as a Project Management area, support a lot of project methodologies, including Agile, Scrum, Simple Projects. The ConceptDraw solutions help effectively in implementing the best practices in project management, in dealing the common project situations in an extraordinary way, in planning and tracking projects implementation, milestones, events, resource usage, and many other typical project management functions.
