We now have 3 teams working on 3
product backlogs (all in the same
bullpen ). And we've run out
space. We don't have room for 2 additional whiteboards on which to
draw their
burn-up charts . So we improvised.
We now draw each teams
burn-up chart on a transparent
overlay which is clipped to the whiteboard at the top. The axes are
drawn on the whiteboard underneath, and everything pertaining to a
project's iteration burn rate (tracked and target ideal pair days
plus tracked and target number of running tested stories) is drawn
onto the corresponding overlay.

This mechanism allows us to view each team's progress next to one another and obtain an holistic view of how we're doing. It works really well because when we're updating one we don't accidentally erase or smudge another.
