Burndown Chart is trending down to the wrong date.

Jeff Magill January 21, 2021

Our sprints are 2 weeks but our burndown charts span 4 weeks. The trendline in the chart trends for 4 weeks. As you can see in the screenshot, our sprint is Jan 20 - Feb 2. I would expect the trendline to reach zero on Feb 2 but it doesn't hit zero until Feb 15. Consequently, the burndown chart is ineffective at judging the pace of the sprint.

How do I fix my project/board/sprint so it trends to the correct date?

We're using a classic project with a scrum board. I'm an admin but not the owner.
