After quite some tinkering with formulas, I've managed to create a burndown chart on my own, but I kinda struggled as to where to put the required calculations. Using a separate "calculation spreadsheet" didn't work for me, because with every change in the project plan, I need to open that separate spreadsheet, let it do its magic and save it again, so that the burndown chart updates itself. This became quite a nuisance.

Instead, I've integrated all calculations for my dashboard in the upper right corner of the project plan itself (see picture):

Then I used the "hide" function on the first few columns and implemented a filter to also get rid of the upper rows. This way, I only see the project plan and nothing else.

It works perfectly fine and updates itself - as intended - every time I save the project plan. No more additional spreadsheets for me. :-)

And the result looks OK to my stakeholders, too:

Dear Robert,

Have you been able to work with story points in you burnout charts? Or the base unit is #task where all tasks have the same value?

Thanks

Would anyone who has received Andrée Starå's burndown chart example be willing to share with me? Thank you in advance to anyone willing to do so. I did try to email Andrée Starå and am not sure whether he's still at the same email address at this point.

@Andrée Starå Is it okay if I send you an email to get the burndown template? I need to create more than one burndown charts on the same project for various stakeholders with different interests. Thanks in advance!

Hey @Andrée Starå - I'm sorry to revive an old thread. Would it be possible to bother you for that template as well? I sent you an email but wanted to bug you as this would provide huge value for me.

Thanks!

Hello,

@Andrée Starå I came across the burndown chart post and was hoping you would be willing to share your burndown chart template with me. I very much appreciate your assistance! I sent you an email as well on Tuesday.
