Agile Burndown Calculator
Calculate sprint burndown rates and predict completion based on current velocity
About this calculator
The Agile Burndown Calculator helps Scrum teams track their sprint progress by calculating burndown rates and predicting completion dates based on current velocity. This tool analyzes remaining work against time, providing visual insights into whether your team is on track to meet sprint goals. It's essential for identifying potential delays early, adjusting workload, and maintaining realistic expectations with stakeholders throughout the sprint cycle.
How to use
Enter your sprint details including total story points, sprint duration, and current day. Input the remaining work or completed work to date. The calculator will automatically compute your burndown rate, current velocity, and projected completion date based on your team's performance trends.
Frequently asked questions
What is burndown rate in Agile?
Burndown rate measures how quickly your team completes work during a sprint, calculated by dividing completed story points by elapsed time.
How accurate are burndown predictions?
Predictions become more accurate as the sprint progresses and more data points are available, typically reliable after 30-40% sprint completion.
What if my burndown chart shows we're behind?
Consider removing lower-priority items, adding team members, or extending deadlines. Use this data to inform stakeholders early about potential delays.
