Process Control

Senior management, stakeholders, and the Scrum team all need to be aware of the current status of the work at all times. In Scrum, each Daily Scrum and each Sprint Review serve as a means of tracking work, progress, and outcomes. With the Daily Scrum, Taskboard, and Burndown Charts, the Scrum team's tools for tracking project progress at the sprint level are particularly successful. This enables the team to spot issues before they become serious, moving and handling, and resolve them while they are still basic. The developer-created reports outline which user stories have been completed and if development is proceeding according to schedule.

The following “reports” are often used in Scrum. Here in order of importance:

1. Taskboard

2. Sprint Burndown Chart

3. Release Burnup Chart

4. Velocity Chart
