| − | This tool was on the wishlist and has not been written about before on this Wiki. In our project it might be relevant to look at risk management, and here the Risk Burn Down (RBD) Chart might come in handy. A lot more work will have to be put into the specifics of the article, but I believe the description for what the article should include, matches very well with writing about a tool like RBD Chart. I have never used the tool before, so it will be very interesting to dig into. Below I have tried to specify the structure of the article a bit more in relation to RBD chart, but I will need to do some more research into the tool to write an abstract/summary of the article at this point in time.

| − | According to the scientific literature, the RBD chart is heavily used in AGILE/SCRUM based projects. Why this is the case is something I have to dig into, but I believe it is because the tasks of what needs to be done are more clear up front in these type of projects. Since it is often used in AGILE/SCRUM based project it has to be explored how it relates to project management in general. In most literature it is apparent that there is agreement that the RBD chart is a very useful tool.

| |
| − | ''- When does (and doesn't) it make sense to apply the Risk Burn Down Chart (in which context).''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In projects where tasks and workload is known up-front in makes sense to implement the RBD chart. When the tasks and workload is unknown, it will be very challenging to make the chart.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ''- In what type of projects is it most effective to use?''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In agile projects such as SCRUM projects, the tool is an important part of the management. However, it can be applied to all types of projects.
