  I really like the dash board and we're considering getting a large screen and putting on our wall. However, we're using Scrum and I don't see sprint burn down or product burn down charts.  Work remaining looks like it's close to a product burn down but I don't see any way to constrain it to a release (e.g. Release 1).  If the iteration progress is supposed to be like a sprint burn down, I'd like to see some documentation on how it works; but it would be easier for management types to understand a standard sprint burn down chart.  It would be nice to have some documentation that describes the widgets and/or a description in the widget configuration.
  
  By the way, if/when you do add these burn down charts, PLEASE add a line that projects when the iteration will end based on velocity (story points for the product burn down, estimated effort for the sprint burn down).  We really need that and none of the current tools provide a working version of that.

  Hi Justin,
  
  You are correct, we don't have a true sprint burn down chart yet.  As you mentioned, the Remaining Work Trend chart is close, but it is not constrained to a release or iteration.  It's purpose is to show the trend of the work remaining on the sprint backlog items in the project.  The iteration progress bar is basically a counter showing you how much time has passed in your iteration so far.  For example, if it is 25% full, then 25% of your iteration has passed already.
  
  We will consider adding burn down charts that work with the scrum template in the future, but cannot commit to anything at this time.  Including a detailed description of the way each of the widgets functions would also be quite helpful.  I have added both of items to our backlog.
  
  We appreciate the feedback and if you have any other comments, questions, or suggestions, please let us know.
  
  Regards,
  Joel
