The GreenHopper Chart Board provides you with a graphical representation of the progress of ongoing versions. You can view 'burndown' graphs that show the number of incomplete issues that need to be addressed or hours remaining to complete work for a specified version, over the duration of that version. You can also view 'burnup' graphs to show other custom data associated with issues, such as business value.

All graphs can show a range of additional trend lines to help you monitor and manage the progress of work conducted in your team.
