with this patch, we're only missing chapters 6, 7 and 8
for our manual to reach v1.0-rc1. From that point on,
let's try to focus on improvements to the text before we
consider adding new chapters (we could discuss Continuous
Integration and Test-Driven Development, for example).

\paragraph{}
-Figure \ref{fig:example-burndown-chart} shows an example Sprint Burndown Chart.
+The burndown chart is a simple way to visualize how current sprint is
+developing. It shows, at any given time, how many hours and days are left for
+this sprint.
+
+\paragraph{}
+By looking at older sprints, we can also extrapolate the data to generate
+valuable statistics about the team. The \textit{Team Velocity} is one of such
+statistics and it tells us how many Story Points (or engineering hours) are
+completed per-sprint. That information allows ScrumMasters to estimate when the
+entire project will be complete.

+Figure \ref{fig:example-burndown-chart} below shows an example Sprint Burndown
+Chart.

+It's easy to see how we can extrapolate team velocity after we have more than
+one Sprint Burndown Chart available.
