PK0-005 Tools and Documentation Practice Question
During a sprint review, the team notes that the remaining work is not decreasing as expected. Which agile artefact would best help visualize the trend of remaining work over the sprint duration?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Burndown chart
A burndown chart shows remaining work over time in a sprint, making it easy to spot deviations from the plan.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Kanban board
Why it's wrong here
A Kanban board shows current work item states and WIP limits, not a plotted trend of remaining work over time. It is tempting because it exposes bottlenecks and stalled items, which suits continuous-flow teams managing queue health. The stem requires a time-series view of remaining work, which the burndown chart provides.
- ✓
Burndown chart
Why this is correct
A burndown chart plots remaining work against time across the sprint, so flat or rising lines immediately expose work not decreasing as expected. It satisfies the stem's need to visualise the remaining-work trend over the sprint duration.
- ✗
Burnup chart
Why it's wrong here
A burnup chart plots completed work against total scope, so it tracks scope creep rather than remaining work declining. It is tempting because it visualises progress toward a release goal, which suits forecasting whether a fixed scope will be met. The scenario asks specifically for remaining work trending down, which the burndown chart shows.
- ✗
Velocity chart
Why it's wrong here
A velocity chart compares story points completed per sprint across iterations, not remaining work within a single sprint. It is tempting because it reveals whether throughput is falling, which suits release planning and capacity forecasting. The stem asks for the trend of remaining work during one sprint, which the burndown chart plots daily.
