Summary : Except for coding and standup meetings, the DEV team should have to update the task status and estimate the man-hour left of the tasks that they are in charge of. ZenTao will generate a Burndown chart according to the overall man-hour left of all the tasks. Now, let’s look at an example.

Except for coding and standup meetings, the DEV team should have to update the task status and estimate the man-hour left of the tasks that they are in charge of. ZenTao will generate a Burndown chart according to the overall man-hour left of all the tasks. Now, let’s look at an example.

  • The horizontal axis shows the dates and the vertical axis man hours.
  • Man hours are the overall remaining man-hours of the tasks in the project. The man hours are calculated every day and then generate the coordinates, and then the Burndown Chart.
  • Weekend can be hidden in burndown charts.
  • In order to update the Burndown chart, you need to set scheduled tasks. Please refer to How to Update a Burndown Chart.

The difference between Burndown chart and Gantt chart 

The core management philosophy of ZenTao is based on Scrum, so its main tool is Burndown chart instead of Gantt chart, which also represents two distinct management ideas. Gantt chart is management by controlling which is done by setting a start and end time and positions strictly; Burndown chart is more about the remaining hours of the project. So in ZenTao, we do hope that you can make full use of the Burndown chart.


We also provide Gantt chart in our Professional Version. You can contact us at Renee@easycorp.ltd or Philip@easycorp.ltd to purchase ZenTao Pro.
