# How to Generate Progress Charts with Copilot

Copilot generates charts directly alongside your code and documentation, turning data visualization into part of your development workflow rather than a separate step. Feed in data from your application, test results, monitoring systems, or API responses and produce publication-ready visualizations without switching tools. This is especially valuable for engineering teams that need performance charts in post-mortems, benchmark comparisons in technical blog posts, or sprint metrics embedded in retrospective documents.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Add ToolRouter to Copilot MCP config
2. In Copilot Chat: "Create a burndown chart for our sprint -- 34 points total, 12 remaining, 5 days left"
3. Copilot generates a sprint progress visualization
4. Ask: "Generate a release progress chart from our milestone data"

## Example Prompt

```
Create a sprint burndown chart. Starting points: 34. Day 1: 30, Day 2: 26, Day 3: 22, Day 4: 18, Day 5: 12. Show ideal burndown line for comparison.
```

## Tips

- Perfect for automated sprint reporting and project milestone tracking
- Generate burndown and burnup charts directly from project management data
