A burn-up chart is specifically designed to show completed functionality over time in Agile environments. This type of chart illustrates the progress towards project goals by displaying the amount of work completed against the total amount of work required. As teams complete user stories or tasks, the burn-up chart reflects this progress and helps stakeholders visualize how much has been achieved.

The structure of a burn-up chart typically consists of two primary lines: one showing the total scope of the project and another indicating the cumulative work completed. This provides clear visibility regarding changes in scope as well as the velocity of the deliverables, making it an effective tool for both tracking progress and managing stakeholder expectations.

Other choices such as burn-down charts, progress reports, or status updates may present information related to project progress, but they do not specifically focus on completed functionality over time in the same way that a burn-up chart does. A burn-down chart, for instance, typically shows remaining work rather than the amount of work completed, while progress reports and status updates provide a general overview without the visual representation of progress against total work.
