Burndown Review Slide Template
Sprint or release review slide. BurndownChart (ideal dashed + actual solid lines plus optional target horizontal) on the left; 3-5 risks, notes, or mitigations on the right. Pairs the visual story of velocity with the narrative of why — the standard sprint-review and release-tracking visual.
