1) Are you using RTC 2.0?
2) Did you upgrade your repo from 1.0.1.1 to 2.0?
3) Are you sure you are using the Burndown report template that shipped with RTC 2.0?
4) Do other reports like Open vs Closed work?

I am using RTC 2.0. I did not upgrade the repo, i directly installed RTC 2.0 client and i am using the burndown that was shipped with the client.

All work item reports that take an iteration as a parameter are bound by the start and end dates of the iteration. Assigning Work items to an iteration that has not stared yet will display an empty chart for that iteration.

The page displayed the following message "No work items with estimates specified were found." and no chart was displayed. What is the problem and how to get the chart generated?


Thanks Vijay

This report plots the remaining backlog of work in terms of the time estimated to complete it. Agile development methodologies such as Scrum use a burndown to plot the daily progress toward the end of a sprint. Ideally, the chart will show a trend toward zero hours of remaining work as the sprint comes to a close.

Only work items which are open and in progress and which have an estimate specified are included in the calculation.

Make sure that you have enough data with the above conditions Vijay. It works with me.

Hamid.
