As a project manager, I would like to be able to view a burndown chart that clearly communicates changes in scope.

      Burndown charts don't do a good job of showing when scope gets added to a project. There are q number of good charting techniques for doing this. See possible examples in fugs 3-23 to 3-26 here:

      Either add a vertical spike when new stories are added or old stories are re-estimated – or convey the same thing by having the bottom line step down below zero (This is nice because you can get a sense of the total scope addition over time).
