What Track View Shows You

Track View is a racetrack-style marker showing whether a sprint's actual progress is ahead of, on pace with, or behind its expected progress.

What it is

Track View shows sprint progress as two markers moving along a track: one for actual progress (weighted completion of the sprint's work) and one for expected progress (how far through the sprint you are, by elapsed time). It's not a burn-down chart — think of it as two racers on the same track rather than two lines on a graph.

How to read it

The gap between the two markers determines the sprint's progress state, shown by color: Exceeding, Ahead, On Track, Behind, Lagging, or Critical, from best to worst. A small gap in either direction is normal — On Track and Ahead cover most healthy sprints. A large gap toward Behind, Lagging, or Critical means actual progress has fallen well short of where the sprint's timeline says it should be.

What to do about it

Check Track View mid-sprint, not just at the end — catching a Behind or Lagging state early leaves time to react, while Critical late in a sprint is largely a lagging indicator at that point. Pair it with Momentum: a sprint that's both Overdrive and Lagging is under load pressure and behind on execution at the same time, a stronger signal to intervene than either alone.
