1.	What is the Release Burndown Chart?
Answer» A Release Burndown Chart is one of the information radiators for an agile project TEAM and is a way for the team to clearly see what is happening and how progress is being made during each sprint. The release burndown chart has SPRINTS or TIMELINE on the X-axis and the story points on the Y-axis. Just by the glance of the chart, you can tell exactly how the release is going. It captures how much scope has been increased during the course of a release, it also gives us the insight into the stories getting acceptance on time from the PO or the stakeholders. With the help of this chart, we can even identify if there are any risks to the delivery in the said amount of time. It is majorly used by the product team, management and sometimes the stakeholders to assess the delivery of the release. It is an important chart when we work with business OWNERS as it also gives the VIEW of items which might creep out of the boundaries.
