Why can't see epic report in a kanban project?

Why can't see epic report in a kanban project. The board allows me to use epics but there are no Epic Report available.

According to documentation this only applies to Scrum boards.

Hi @Celeste D_Alessandro,

I am not sure why it is this way, but with a Kanban Board, there is only very limited agile reporting possible (At least for Server). You only have the Control Chart and the Cumulative Flow Diagram available.

I think, it is because a lot of the calculations depends on the sprint durations and as this does not existing on a Kanban Board, the calculations needed for the report don't work properly.

i haven't used an epic report in forever TBH. Are you saying there is no option for Epic Report or when you click on it there is nothing displayed? Can you share a screenshot? Are you on cloud or server? If cloud is this a Classic project? Software or Business, etc.

Hi! I'm in a server instance. That i'm trying to say is that in a Kanban project I can use Epics but there are no report to follow the epics status.

Because the Epic Report is not available.

@Celeste D_Alessandro, You may find Nic's response to this very question worthwhile. He does a good job of explaining why epic burndown doesn't apply to kanban, at least as Atlassian has defined and implemented it.
