Who maintains the burn chart?

jamescarr asks random agile question: who should maintain/update the burn-down, customers or developers?

In an ideal world, the developers mark completed and the customers mark accepted/rejected.

This information is then reflected on a stacked burn-down/up chart like in projectcards.

Of course in (my) reality we schedule our iteration and often end up with quadrant I stuff that gets thrown into the mix along the way.  So what you see down below is iteration story churn.  We're a small team with many projects going at once.

Often the PM serves as the customer proxy and updates the status of tasks reflected in the burn-up/down charts.  It is important to note that the PM really does check the product and verify acceptance with the customer.
