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/
Has anyone found a workaround for sharing Smartsheet reports externally without giving access to internal data? I currently have to download the data and transfer it onto excel to create a pivot table for our client and I want to find an easier way to do so. I also already create a dashboard for our client, but I wanted…
Hello team! Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season. I am trying to set up an automation that will send an email reminder one time when Next Update Date = 60 days, then another automation at 30d, etc. The key is I only want it to send the reminder one time when Next Update threshold is reached. Is this possible?…
I have an automation setup to escalate to managers when a step goes beyond 2 days. I have that titled as Escalation for Purchasing, Escalation for Planning, etc. In my trial run, 3 out of 6 showed up as Reminder: New part number request log ( this is the name of the sheet) The only thing we could see was that the ones that…
