Burn Up Chart Tool

Interactive · 2 minutes

Play with a burn-up chart

Drag the sliders and watch scope, pace and finish date react. Tap the glowing dots to learn the vocabulary as you go.

Try a scenario:
Late Today Target Total scope Done

Loading the interactive chart… If this message stays, your site’s caching or optimization plugin is blocking the script (see setup notes).

Total scope (points)
Done so far
Velocity (pts / sprint)
Forecast finish

Steeper coral line, earlier finish.

Watch the blue line jump. That’s scope creep.

Glossary

Tap any term. The ones with a chart connection will show you where it lives.

Test yourself

Three questions. No pressure.

Know its limits: a burn-up is not a dependency tool. It can hint that risk is building on the critical path, but it won’t map dependencies between stories. Pair it with a dependency view when your project needs one.
