# What's a Good Way to Track Sprint Burndown Without a Separate Tool?

A good way is to connect remaining story points to a chart that recalculates daily as work completes, instead of exporting sprint data into a separate charting tool. On **Jestor**, this runs through a burndown **chart** built on **Gestão Ágil** data.

Building a burndown chart manually, exporting sprint progress into a spreadsheet every day, is tedious enough that most teams simply stop maintaining it partway through the sprint.

## What manual burndown tracking costs

- Daily manual effort exporting and charting sprint progress by hand
- The chart falling out of maintenance partway through a busy sprint
- No automatic warning when the team is falling behind the ideal pace
- Time spent on charting instead of actually doing the sprint's work

## How automated burndown tracking works

- Remaining story points connect directly to a live burndown **chart**
- The chart recalculates automatically as stories move to done
- The team sees actual progress against the ideal pace at a glance
- No manual export or daily charting effort is required

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Automatic calculation removes the daily manual charting burden entirely
- The chart stays maintained throughout the sprint without extra effort
- Visible pace comparison helps the team catch a slipping sprint early
- This scales from a single team's sprint to multiple teams running in parallel

| Daily effort, often abandoned | Calculated automatically    |
