What does the Sprint Burndown measure?

The Sprint Burndown is a key Agile metric that measures the remaining workload in the Sprint over time. It visually represents how much work remains to be completed against the planned work within the Sprint timeframe. As the team progresses through the Sprint, the ideally decreasing line on the burndown chart shows the amount of work that has been completed and the workload that still remains. This insight allows teams to assess their progress and make informed decisions about their pace and any potential adjustments needed to meet the Sprint Goal.

By understanding the remaining workload, the Scrum Team can better coordinate their efforts and manage their commitments. Thus, the Sprint Burndown serves as an effective tool for transparency and adaptation, which are core principles of Scrum.

Other options represent aspects that are not captured by the Sprint Burndown. The team's satisfaction, quality of work, and time spent on tasks are important factors in team dynamics and performance, but they do not directly reflect the remaining workload in a way that the Sprint Burndown does.
