Burn-Down Chart

A Burn-Down Chart is a tool used in project management to track the progress of tasks and objectives over a set period of time. It allows you to quickly visualize how much work remains to be done, when milestones were achieved, and how efficient your team has been in getting things done. The chart is divided into two lines – one representing the total amount of work left to do, and one showing the amount of work completed each day. As more tasks are completed, the “burn-down” line will decrease until it reaches zero on the last day, which indicates the project was completed on time. This is an invaluable tool for staying organized and meeting deadlines!
