A sprint began with 80 story points committed. At the end of day 4 of a 10-day sprint, 24 points remain incomplete. If work were burning down at the ideal (linear) rate, how many points should remain at the end of day 4?

Question

Accepted Answer

48 points. Ideal burndown is linear: points completed per day = 80 / 10 = 8. After 4 days, ideal completed = 32, so ideal remaining = 80 − 32 = 48 points. Because only 24 remain (ahead of the 48 ideal line), the team is ahead of schedule. Answer 32 confuses completed with remaining.
