How to handle tasks from previous Sprint on current Sprint Burn down chart Let's say a project has 2 or more Sprints and for each sprint you are using a burn down chart to track the Sprint progress. If at the end of the first Sprint there are tasks that have been started but are not completed and hence will go into the next sprint to be worked on how would those tasks be handled in the next sprint burn down chart - do you adjust the estimated time for the tasks to reflect the fact that some work has been done on them or use the original estimated time? Thanks.

I've tried both with my Team. The one we found to make more sense is to adjust the estimate. The whole idea of Agile is to update your plan based on new information. Updating your estimates to reflect the work _remaining_ for your Stories will make estimation much easier, and will better reflect what is actually happening in Sprint 2.

The only thing you've really 'lost' is the overall effort that was required for that Story, but it was decided (in our case) that we didn't really even need that.
