Can an epic be used to generate Velocity and Burn Down reports

[Deleted user]

Although our epic is under a project, the project contains several epics of which neither has story points and was not previous managed into sprints.  My specific epic does have story points and will be managed into sprints which starts tomorrow.

  However, each time I attempt to generate a Velocity, Burn down, or cumulative flow graph report, it uses all of the project issues as its input rather than just the epic I selected.

 I do find the project, then filter on the epic, then I click on reports, but I do not get results based on the epic, just the project.   Is this supported?  If so how?

Hello @[deleted] ,

The Burndown report and the Velocity report are going to display everything that is impacted in the board, so a default filter like  "project = X order by rank asc" will include any epic in the project, to isolate just a single epic I would recomend looking at the following reports that are designed to give a epic specific run down:

• Epic Report 
• Epic Burndown Report

many thanks for the information, it does make sense.  I will review the Epic Burndown & Velocity

I have tried several times but I do not see a display for the EPIC reports, I only see the general project reports.  Perhaps we are on a previous Jira version.

Hi @[deleted] ,

Thanks for the update and what is the Project type? 

I should have clarified this part earlier on as the Epic Report and the Epic Burndown Report will only be avaliable on a Classic Scrum Projects, and will not be avaliable if the project is a Next-Gen or a Classic Kanban project.

Regards,
Earl
