Team Practices Group/Evidence-Based Project Planning

=Overview= Burnup charts are commonly used as a way to see historical progress, and to project potential future progress.

=Option 1: Phragile= The TCB team at WMDE has been working on an external tool called Phragile, which has several features, including the ability to generate burnup charts directly from a Phabricator project.

=Option 2: Phlogiston= Joel of the Team Practices Group has been working on a set of python/SQL/R scripts which can generate burnup charts and other visualizations from a sanitized dump of the Phabricator database. This solution is known as "phlogiston", which fits the "ph" naming of tools related to phabricator, and means "burning up" in Greek. Read more about the Phlogiston theory on wikipedia.
