Create burndown chart on multiple custom workitems together

There is an extension named Great Gadgets (see https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=StonikByte.stonikbyte-great-gadgets-extension&ssr=false#overview) which nicely handles this case. It provides a Release Burndown Burnup Chart widget that uses a shared query as data source.

All you need to do is create a shared query that returns the items you want to track, then configure the widget to use that query. The widget will automatically generate the burndown chart based on the results.

Hope this helps.

Hi, the built-in Azure DevOps burndown widgets usually expect standard backlog levels, so multiple custom work item types can be awkward. I would use Analytics Views or OData into Power BI, then build the burndown from the custom types and state transitions you care about. That gives much more control than trying to force the standard dashboard widget to understand a custom process.

Hello hiteshchandwani​ .

I've been frustrated with the out-of-the-box burndown widget in ADO for many years. I finally got fed up and created my own dashboard extension widget the does proper Epic and Feature burndown charts and handles a mix of Epics, Features, and Stories as the work items for the burndown chart.

It's still in private preview. I'm looking for a small number of ADO users to try my widget and give me feedback. You can find a description of my Portfolio Burndown Chart at

Let me know if you'd be interested in giving it a try.
