“9 Metrics That Amp Up Agile Team Productivity” on business.com, December 9, 2024
Feature burn-up
A key reporting metric for stakeholders and employees in management positions is the feature burn-up chart. Why? Because the chart shows the number of features delivered in each sprint, explained Alan Zucker, founding principal of Project Management Essentials and an instructor at the University of Georgia.
“Reporting features delivered is a tangible measure of progress,” Zucker said. “Stakeholders can easily correlate that to increased functionality. They often do not — and do not need to — understand the nuance of story points.”
Zucker said the feature burn-up chart can even be enhanced by adding the total number of requested features, because it provides an easy-to-understand view of progress on the overall project goal.
