Sprint Report vs Burnup Chart: Points not completed

Background:
I am comparing the Sprint Report to the Burnup Chart. While the naming convention differs, any points not completed in a Sprint should be the same in both views, correct?

Challenge:
In the Sprint Report for a past Sprint we see 35 points not completed.
In the Burnup Chart for the same Sprint it shows 46 points remained when the Sprint was ended.


What is the discrepancy here?

Hello, Bud.

In Jira's native Burnup Chart, the remaining work is not explicitly shown on the chart.

I've checked the Sprint Report and Burnup Chart for different sprints on my production environment - here are a few hints that may help you:

1. Burnup Chart - on this chart, the remaining work is the gap as shown below:

2. Sprint Report - the chart itself doesn't provide figures, but they can be found in the Status Report below the chart:

So, in the Status Report, "Completed work" and "Remaining work" match all figures derived from the Burnup Chart.

Let me know if this helps.

 

P.S. In the context of your request, our Burnup Burndown Chart app may be helpful. It includes:

  • Burnup/burndown charts with misc forecasting scenarios for all scopes: epics, initiatives, releases, JQL.
  • Sprint burndown chart that, unlike native charts, depicts remaining work and provides forecasts
