Use this interactive demo to learn how to generate a burndown chart for your Jira sprint.

Quick summary

A burndown chart in Jira gives agile teams a visual way to track remaining work against time in a sprint. To create one, you navigate to your project's Reports section and select the Burndown Chart after starting an active sprint.


Steps

  1. Navigate to your desired Jira project and click on it.
  2. Go to your backlog and click 'Start sprint'.
  3. Click 'Start' to confirm and activate the sprint.
  4. Click 'Reports' in the sidebar to begin creating a burndown chart.
  5. Select 'Burndown Chart' from the reports list.
  6. Your burndown chart is now successfully created in Jira.

📌 Why this matters

A burndown chart in Jira is an essential agile reporting tool that helps scrum teams visualize how much work remains in a sprint versus the time available. By tracking the ideal versus actual progress lines, teams can quickly identify if they are on track to meet their sprint goals or need to replan. Jira's built-in burndown chart eliminates the need for manual tracking spreadsheets, giving project managers and developers real-time visibility into sprint velocity and workload. This makes it a critical feature for any team practicing agile project management and looking to improve sprint predictability and delivery consistency.
