Epic burndown shows incorrect prediction

[Rochelle Levy]

Epic burndown prediction display:

- 38 story points remaining

Calculate remaining story points manually = 32 points. 

Any ideas?

Hello @Rochelle Levy ,

It sounds like you are running into an issue with scope change, this is mentioned in the documentation:

• "View and understand the epic burndown report" 

Noting:

Scope change is not considered when calculating the velocity*, but is included in the total work remaining.

So I would recommend looking for any occurrences of scope change where any issues that do not have a value for the 'Estimate' field when a sprint is started and have values entered after the start of the sprint will be treated as scope change.  They show with a * ("Issue added to sprint after start time") next to them in the Sprint Report. and the Burndown Chart records this as a scope change with 'Issue added to sprint' in event detail.

Regards,
Earl
