Burndown charts are used in iteration-based projects, such as Scrum, to track the progress of work over time. They visually represent the amount of work remaining versus the time available, helping teams to monitor their progress and predict whether they will complete all planned work within the allocated time. This helps in effective resource management and enables timely adjustments to the project plan.

A. Kanban projects use burndown charts to ensure that work-in-progress (WIP) limitations are not exceeded. Kanban projects typically use cumulative flow diagrams (CFDs) to manage WIP limitations, not burndown charts. B. Scrum projects use burndown charts to visually manage how stories progress through the workflow and make bottlenecks and work quantities visible. While Scrum projects do use burndown charts, the primary purpose is to track progress over time, not specifically to manage workflow or identify bottlenecks. Kanban boards are more suited for visualizing workflow and bottlenecks. C. Kanban projects use burndown charts to report on the amount of defects remaining after each iteration to ensure high quality at project completion. Kanban projects do not typically use burndown charts for defect tracking. Instead, they focus on continuous flow and use other tools like CFDs for overall progress and quality tracking.
