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:
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.
