Title: Creating a burn down chart with Cognos Report Studio
Post by: klisa on 14 Mar 2012 09:14:20 AM
There is a potential requirement coming my way to create a burn down chart in Cognos 8.4 Report Studio.  Does anyone have any information or experience doing this in Report Studio?

Thanks for any information!  :)

I did not know since your post what is a burn out chart, but from what I saw in Wikipedia is a simple line chart or a multiple line chart or a combination chart

A burn-out chart is a graphical representation of the aggregated level of sanity of a given set of developers. It's often used as the Y2 axis in burn-down charts. The trick is to ensure that it always remains at or slightly below the actual line. This incentivizes the developers to work quickly to finish the project.
