Hello,

I am using RTC 4.0.3 for an Agile project and I don't understand how to interpret the Burndown chart provided in a sprint backlog.

I have correctly created and estimated all tasks associated to the stories planned for my sprint and resources are currently working on them until completion.  Whenever I look at the burndown chart, though, it always looks like 
this:



It is not very useful.  I was expecting a burndown chart rather than two lines that don't really tell me much.  Am I doing something wrong?  I expect the remaining work line to start at the top of the y-axis and start to descend towards 0 over time.

Please help!

Best regards,

Andrew

Do you have the etl-jobs configured to collect the information for the data warehouse?

@hajo62 Hello and thank you for your reply! I don't know if the etl jobs are configured correctly since I unfortunately do not have access to the admin pages. What I can add is that there is also a Shared Report called "Burndown" that doesn't provide data in the filters, so I think the etls might be the problem.  What do you think? Regards, Andrew

Yes. This is a possible reason and I think you should ask your admin to check, if the etl jobs are configured and running.
The status can be checked at:
