I hate to belabor this point, but any CFD with a projection on it is not a CFD. It is a Burn Up chart or Projection Chart or something else, but it is most definitely not a CFD. To review, there are two reasons why a projections on CFDs are incorrect. The first reason is because to do a projection the chart must have some type of backlog displayed. But CFDs should not have backlogs on them. That is mistake number one. The second reason is that CFDs are for looking backward, they are not for making projections about the future. That is mistake number two. The fact that it is not a CFD is not a bad thing because this projection view can potentially be very useful (used incorrectly it can also be very bad). I should point out here that because I cannot call them CFDs, the term I am going to use for these types of charts is going to be either Burn Up Charts or Projection Charts.
