Burnup Chart: Be Aware of How Much Work Is Left
Examine your team’s progress on a project by comparing the amount of the completed and remaining work in terms of the approved budget.
Burnup Chart Interpretation
In Epicflow, we measure costs in working hours, which is 1 full-time equivalent. We use this indicator to simplify measurements as an FTE is a common benchmark used worldwide.
You can find the following data on the Burnup Chart:
- A red line shows the approved cost.
- A purple line shows the total expected cost – estimated project cost – that consists of budgeted and scheduled project costs.
- Budgeted cost is what we have in reserve.
- Scheduled is the cost that has been already assigned.
