Series Toggles
Each of the five series can be shown or hidden independently: Ideal Burndown, Ideal Burnup, Remaining, Burned, and Scope. All are on by default.
| Combination | Reads As |
|---|---|
| Remaining + Ideal Burndown | The classic burndown. Cleanest for a daily standup |
| Burned + Ideal Burnup | A burnup view. Better for stakeholders who prefer progress rising |
| Remaining + Scope | Diagnoses scope creep. The best pairing for a retrospective |
| All five | Complete but busy - use only on a wide gadget |

Data Table View
The table gives the per-day numbers behind every series: date, remaining, burned, and scope. Use it when someone questions a specific day, and to copy figures into a sprint report.
Export
| Format | Contains |
|---|---|
| PNG | The chart as displayed, named after the sprint |
| CSV | The per-day series values, with the measure and custom field name included |
Both exports can be disabled independently if you want the chart visible but not extractable.
Common Use Cases
Daily standup. Remaining plus Ideal Burndown, auto-latest sprint, auto-refresh on. It stays correct across sprints with no editing.
Sprint review. Turn on the Scope series. If scope stepped up mid-sprint, lead with that.
Retrospective. Open the data table and find the day the remaining line stopped falling. That date usually pins the blocker.
Executive rollup. Use Burned plus Ideal Burnup - a rising line reads as progress to an audience that does not live in Jira.
