Jira Feature Request: Second Ideal Burn Rate Line in Burnup report

[Daniel Sklar]

The current Burnup report has an ideal burn rate guideline. It is based on the current total story points.

We would like to see an "original burn rate" guideline based on the original total story points. So if we started with 128.5 story points, the guideline would be based on that.

Since some will want it and some won't, perhaps a check box on which guidelines to show.

See attached picture. The "original burn rate" guideline is shown in blue. It shows that we surpassed our original story points, but because we added scope throughout the iteration, the ideal burn rate guideline (in gray) moved.

This is one of the classic misunderstandings of scrum metrics.  It's great that you did more than you committed to, that's something for your team to be horribly smug about and shout about (especially if things were added to the sprint after it started), but your added things should not amend your velocity.
