Our JIRA board is being gamed for management. Our sprint burndown chart always looked terrible because management changed things around mid-sprint by adding issues or swapping them around. So we have a fake JIRA board that has a perfect linear downwards progression because we keep changing the story points.
For actually tracking the progression of the sprint we have a secret Slack channel that management can't see.
This way we don't have to explain to a spreadsheet monkey why the burndown chart looks like a skyline.
- verinus 7y agothis is so anti-agile but well...if management does not understand how developing software works what can you do...

So we have a fake JIRA board that has a perfect linear downwards progression because we keep changing the story points. This makes me so sad. The jagged burndown chart should be the perfect tool to explain management that you didn't finish the sprint BECAUSE MANAGEMENT CHANGED OR ADDED THINGS, and so visualize the cost of such actions.
