1.

Select a subset of Items from your Product Backlog (see


Schedule 3) for your Sprint Backlog
2. List at least two (2) tasks for each Item selected in your
Sprint Backlog
3. Assign "ideal hours" for each task.
o Ideal hours is the time it would take to complete the
task without any interruptions or unplanned
issues. Note: A task should a minimum of 1 hour and
a maximum of 8-12 hours, that is, no more than what
1 or 2 individuals can complete in a single day. If your
task is > 12 hours, it should be broken down into
smaller tasks so that this limit isn't exceeded.
4. Assume that 5 days of your Sprint has passed
5. Complete a Task Board - move tasks ("Status") to show
hypothetical work completed during that time, based on the
anticipated work output of your team members.
o Assume some tasks are "In progress" and that one or
more tasks are complete ("Verify" or "Done").
6. Update the Burndown chart (under the "Burndown" tab).
o Note: Story Points ("Points") are only added once all
tasks for a Sprint Backlog Item are complete; points
accumulate each day; since we assume only data for
5 days should be entered - leave cells blank for days
that haven't happened
7. Download final work as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and

To deduct 5 days of work from the Burndown chart, you need to adjust the
remaining work hours or story points on the chart based on the progress
made during the first 5 days of the Sprint.

Assuming that your Sprint is 10 days long and you have a Burndown chart that
shows the total amount of work (in story points or hours) remaining to be
completed during the Sprint, you can follow these steps to deduct the first 5
days of work:

1. Calculate the total amount of work that was planned for the Sprint. This
is usually based on the User Stories and their estimated effort (in story
points or hours) that were committed to by the team during Sprint
Planning.
2. Determine the total amount of work that was completed during the first
5 days of the Sprint. This can be obtained by looking at the completed
tasks on the Sprint backlog or by asking team members about their
progress.
3. Subtract the amount of work completed during the first 5 days from the
total amount of work planned for the Sprint. This will give you the
amount of work remaining to be completed during the remaining 5
days of the Sprint.
4. Plot the adjusted remaining work on the Burndown chart, taking into
account the number of days remaining in the Sprint. This will show you
how much work needs to be completed each day to meet the Sprint
goal.

By following these steps, you can adjust your Burndown chart to reflect the
progress made during the first 5 days of the Sprint and help your team to stay
on track towards achieving the Sprint goal.

To deduct the 5 days that have passed from the Burndown chart, you would need to adjust the
remaining work and update the chart accordingly. Here are the steps to do so:

1. Determine the total amount of work to be done in the Sprint. Let's say it's 100 story points.
2. Divide the work evenly across the number of days in the Sprint. In this case, there are 10
days, so the team would need to complete an average of 10 story points per day to complete
all the work.
3. After 5 days have passed, the team should have completed 5 * 10 = 50 story points, leaving
50 story points of work to be completed.
4. Adjust the remaining work on the Burndown chart to reflect the remaining 50 story points.
5. Plot the new remaining work on the chart as a point on the Y-axis, and plot the day on the X-
axis.
6. Draw a line connecting the starting point (100 story points) and the new remaining work
point (50 story points).
7. The slope of the line represents the rate of progress needed to complete the remaining work
by the end of the Sprint.

By following these steps, the Burndown chart will reflect the progress of the team accurately and
help the team to stay on track to complete the Sprint goal.

Based on the information provided, the Burndown chart shows that the team planned to
complete 22 story points in a 10-day Sprint. The chart shows the number of points left
at the end of each day, and the ideal progress line that represents the expected rate of
progress to complete all the points by the end of the Sprint.

Assuming that 5 days of the Sprint has passed, we can update the Burndown chart as
follows:

1. Calculate the total work capacity for the Sprint. Since the team accepted 22 story
points, we can assume the total work capacity is 22 story points.
2. Divide the total work capacity by the number of working days in the Sprint to get
the average daily work capacity. In this case, the average daily work capacity is 2.2
story points per day.
3. Multiply the average daily work capacity by the number of days that have passed
(5 days) to get the total work capacity utilized. In this case, the total work capacity
utilized is 2.2 x 5 = 11 story points.
4. Subtract the total work capacity utilized from the total work capacity available at
the start of the Sprint (22 story points). In this case, the remaining work capacity
is 22 - 11 = 11 story points.
5. Plot the remaining work capacity (11 story points) on the Burndown chart at the
end of the 5th day. The chart would show that the team completed 11 story
points in the first 5 days and has 11 story points remaining to complete in the
next 5 days.

The updated Burndown chart would show the points left at the end of each day, with
the last point showing 11. The ideal progress line would also be updated to reflect the
actual progress made by the team.
