Overview
Vertical Bar charts are a type of graph that is used to display and compare the number, frequency, or other measures (e.g. mean) for different discrete categories of data. Vertical bar charts are one of the most commonly used types of graphs because they are simple to create and very easy to interpret.
The vertical bar charts are available for the multiple analytics components such as Pivot Table, Sprint Velocity, Burndown chart, Release Velocity, Spillover Work Trend, Release Burn up, etc.
