Understanding the epic report

Before you start using the Epic Report, you should get to know how it works. The following information will help you understand the key functionalities of the Epic Report:

  • The Epic Report is based on your board's column mapping. An issue is considered to be 'To Do' when it is in a status that has been mapped to the left-most column of your board. Similarly, an issue is considered to be 'Done' when it is in a status that has been mapped to the right-most column of your board. More about configuring columns.

  • The graph will look different if you are using Issue Count as your Estimation Statistic (rather than Story Points, as shown in the screenshot above).
