The two sides of work
Uphill work is still being figured out; downhill work is understood and being executed. A scope moves over the crest when the team has found its approach.
Why a percentage is not enough
Two tasks at 50% can be in very different states. A hill chart separates discovery from delivery, so a status update can describe what is genuinely known.

Use the chart as a conversation
Move scopes by dragging them, then add a short update about the evidence behind the move. Hillchart also provides snapshots and share links when people need a record or a view outside the team.
