This repository now lives in https://framagit.org/arkhi/svg-burndown-chart.

This project provides a fast "database free" way to update a burndown chart

The PHP could of course use classes and the like, this is far from clean. Feel free to improve by forking. :)

Usage

• Every day, you can update a file data.php to reflect points burned, User Story points removed and bugs fixing time;
• If you don't want to differentiate points and User Story points, you can remove things related to User Story points;
• If the sprint is unusualy long, the legends might not look really good. You can add the class long_sprint to "#grid".

Variables

All variables are defined in the $sprint array.

• number is the ID number of the current sprint (could be called sprintID);
• days is the amount of days in the sprint;
• points is the total number of points for Tasks commited to during the sprint;
• USPoints is the total number of points for User Stories in the sprint;
• dailyPoints is an array to be updated daily, based on the number of tasks points burned in the previous day;
• dailyUSPoints is an array to be updated daily, based on the number of points for User Stories finished the previous day;
• dailyBugs is an array to be updated daily, based on the time spent on bugs during the previous day.

Projections

Two projections represent different estimations for the sprint success:

• global projection is based on the average points burned since the start of the sprint;
• a local projection is based on the points burned during the last day.

URL parameters

type will show different versions of the sprint:

• success Shows how much points would have made the sprint successful.
• added_hours Shows the cumulative hours spent on bug fixing and burned hours. This can explain how much work was globally done, even if the sprint is unsuccessful.

datapath defines a path where to look for a custom data.php.

Embed view (Work in progress)

burndown_chart_embed.php shows how a table could be used by the SVG with JS. You'll need to update the header of the SVG file for this to work. (Just add "/*" where necessary)
