I would like to use a burndown chart to track tasks of projects.
Is there the template for burndown chart on Smartsheet?
Hi Hiromitsu,
There currently isn't a way to create a burndown chart in Smartsheet. Currently, Smartsheet relies on a Gantt chart to manage work and % completion. You can find more information on our dependencies functionality, which allows you to plan and track work and % completion to that work here: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/765727-enabling-dependencies-using-predecessors
As burndown is typically used in the agile process, you might also check out our agile template.
When you have a moment please also submit a Product Enhancement Request using the form under Quick links on the right of the community site to let our Product team know you'd like to see burnchart functionality.
Submitted my request to the "Submit Product Enhancement Request." This is my first time using it. It will be interesting to see what that experience is like and how much communication, if any, if provided resulting from submitting an enhancement request.
I need this feature too. Customers of mine are requesting not only a burndown chart but also displaying it in dashboards.
Same - need a burndown to make backlog/sprint planning useful.
Any news on this function request?
Any updates on this function request?
Hi @yosef,
I've been working on something similar - creating burnup and burndown charts with some predictive capabilities.
It's still a bit manual at the moment - you have to update your velocity manually (but am hoping to solve that). It's all built using standard smartsheets.
So it is doable, but depends on the exact needs I guess. This is pretty simple in terms of its modelling.

Can you share your solution??
@AnthroTim are you able to share your solution? We're also trying to create something similar. Thank you.
Hi @CrystalJ_Medtronic and @lcorazzini,
Sorry for the slow response I've been snowed under!
Yes - I can share the solution with you. There seems to be no nice way for me to do this - so the best option (I think) is to head to my blog and use the form at the bottom of the page to request access: https://anthrotechnic.com/blog/smartsheet-burnup-down/
Hello, I have two sheets. One is "Current tasks" and one is "Completed tasks". I have the rows (individual tasks) auto number when entered (2026-001, 2026-002, etc.). When the row is marked complete, it is moved to the "Completed task" sheet. The problem I am having is that when the row is moved the other tasks that remain…
Its very frustrating when you are adding multiple columns and having to use the slide bar to move to the end and then click the 3 dots and add another column. Seems there has to be an easier more productive way.
I'm receiving this message every time I try to open my sheets. I'm the only admin user. I have already performed proper troubleshooting, such as clearing the cache, logging in incognito, and logging out and back in, but the issue remains unresolved. It's been a few days, and I'm unable to track our projects and this…
