Burn-Up Chart – ISTQB Definition
Last Updated: July 12, 2026 · SoftwareTestPilot QA Team
Official ISTQB Definition
A chart that shows the amount of work completed and the total amount of work to be done in a project or sprint.
In simple words
A graph with two lines: total scope and work completed — makes scope changes visible.
Exam tip
Burn-up charts are better than burn-down when scope changes mid-sprint.
