Project Burndown on a multiteam project

Darren Martz2

Using rapidboards, how do I setup a project burndown when I have 5 scrum teams?

There are three artifacts that I am looking for:

Project Burndown
Team Burndown
Team Sprint Burndown

How does that work with the new RapidBoard system?

So far I have only found the team sprint burndown using rapid boards.

In another post it was said that RapidBoards support scrum of scrums. I have never liked that model, but perhaps that is how project burndowns can be reported? But how?

Hi Darren,

You can have multiple Rapid Boards looking over the same sets of issues. For example, one Rapid Board can see the entire project, one can be for a subset for a team. The whole project Rapid Board will then include all the information for the project. For example the Cumulative Flow Diagram will show the progress for the whoel project.

In regards to burndowns at the moment the Rapid Board only supports a per Sprint burndown (i.e. it does not have an arbitrary date range burndown). I'm not 100% what your current setup is to get you a project, team and sprint burndown. The version hierarchy allows you to have a burndown that covers multiple versions/sprints or single versions/sprints so I can see how you might say per Sprint or per Project so I'm guessing per team is using a context? Could you provide some additional information on your setup (and maybe some screenshots) so we can consider this in the future?

Thanks,
Shaun

Anyone? I see the 10.3 release has a new velocity chart and the upcoming 10.4 moves to rapid board as the default. But I still am having difficulty getting these 3 artifacts using rapid boards.

The classic board gives me project, team, and sprint burndown charts based on the version hierarchy. How does that work with rapid boards?

Hi Darren,

Mostly I want to see:

how a sprint is progressing against the plan in hours (Rapid Board does that)
what each teams velocity is in story points spanning multiple sprints
how the overall project is progressing in story points towards a fixed delivery date. That means seeing a roll up of story points across multiple teams and multiple sprints.

We have 5 teams working on the same product and need reporting at a few levels for different audiences.

It would also be sweet to get that in the wallboard plugin. We almost purchased a couple TV's for the office, but put that on hold when Rapid Boards lacked the support.

We are using the classic greenhopper right now and looking to move to rapid boards, but are trying to map our needs.

I noticed the rapid board burndown is based on a per board setting of either story points or hours. The burndown chart does not allow flipping between the two views. That does mean I can get a project story point burn down with a project specific board. That is cool.

What I still cannot see is if I have a targeted ship date and a backlog, where is the chart that tells me (based on velocity) when the backlog will be complete compared to the targeted ship date? Is there a way to indicate a minimum ship feature set? I can certainly add a field and tag stories to say which are must versus maybe, but charting that is very helpful.

Correction - the project board can only display a sprint burn down, not a project burn down. My view is restricted to a 2 week window. How can I see where I expect to be 6 months out? Where is that chart?

In my opinion this is a big loss of functionality with the rapid board. If there is no way to get a multi-sprint view of the backlog over time, you really can't see where you are heading without going to excel. I don't mind Atlassian moving Rapid Board forward, but my teams are having to go back to Classic View out of necessity. The Rapid Board just doesn't get used without this functionality.
