The epic report, which has a y-axis indicating story points and an x-axis indicating time.

The Epic Report shows a list of complete, incomplete, and unestimated work items in an epic. It is particularly useful in planning work for an epic that may extend over multiple sprints.

Use the Epic Report to understand the progress towards completing an epic over time, and to track the amount of remaining work that's incomplete or unestimated.

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. A work item 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, a work item 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 Work item count as your Estimation Statistic (rather than Story Points, as shown in the screenshot above).
