Within Teamwork, you can add a task
burndown panel to your custom dashboards based
on a specific task list.
Note: This feature is
available on per-user Premium/Grow subscriptions and
above.
In the Home area of your site, select the Dashboards tab from the horizontal navigation menu.
When creating or editing a
dashboard, you can choose Task list
burndown from the panel type
dropdown in the Panels tab.
Once selected, you can customize how
the burndown panel should be populated.
Panel settings:
- Name
- Project
- Task list - burndown panels are populated
based on task lists so one must be
selected.
- Start date
- End date - set the final date you
want all the work completed by:
- Milestone linked to task list - based
on the milestone attached to the task
list.
- Latest due date - based on the latest
due date of a task in the task
list.
- Custom - pick a custom end date.
- Burn rate - calculate the burn rate
using:
- Number of tasks completed.
- Estimated and logged time.
Once the panel has been created, you
will see a dotted line highlighting your ideal
burnrate.
The blue line represents the current
burnrate trajectory based on work completed so
far. Hovering over the chart will show
you the burn details for each point.
When the actual burn line crosses
over the ideal burn rate, this indicates
that based on current work completion
rate, things are off track for meeting the
end date.
Panel options
Click the options button (three dots) in the top right of the burndown panel and select Edit.
In the edit modal, you can update the panel name and associated project and task list. You can also adjust the start date and target end date.
At the bottom of the modal, you can update how the burn rate is calculated.
Additional panel options
For users on legacy Enterprise subscriptions, the panel properties are accessible in the Filters tab.
An additional Display tab allows you to customize how the panel is shown on your dashboard.
You can also toggle the Show
completed tasks option to
include or exclude them from the burndown
panel.
