    • Ideal Burndown: Indicates how the team needs to progress on stories to complete the sprint on time.
    • Remaining: Indicates the amount of work left for completion in the sprint.

      If Remaining is above the Ideal Burndown, it implies that there is more work left than originally estimated. The team is running behind the schedule of the sprint.
