| Epic Burnup | Line chart Image omitted: inline-data-vis-96px-line.png </td><td><p>Shows the epic burnup trends. You can estimate when the epic is likely to be completed.</p> The Epic Burnup report comprises the following series that can be hidden or displayed based on your preference:
Note: The point at which the Completed Forecast series intersects with or crosses the Scope Forecast series is a predictor for when the epic might be completed. If the Completed Forecast series and the Scope Forecast series do not appear to ever intersect, it is a warning that scope is being added faster than work is being completed. | |
| Epic Cumulative Flow Diagram | Area chart Image omitted: inline-data-vis-96px-area.png </td><td><p>Monitor the progress of all the stories of your epic between its actual start and end dates.</p> View the number of stories in each state by their arrival to a state, time in this state, and its departure from this state. The Epic Cumulative Flow Diagram report comprises the following areas that can be hidden or displayed based on your preference:
Note: Stories in Ready and Cancelled states are not included in this report. |

| Story Cycle Time | Bubble chart Image omitted: inline-data-vis-96px-bubble.png </td><td><p>Identify the time taken for each story in the epic to move from an in-progress state to completion.Each bubble on the graph represents a story. The height of the bubble from the x-axis shows how long that story took to move from an in-progress state to completion. The size of the story bubbles are relative to each other based on their story points.</p> Hovering your mouse cursor over a bubble displays the following details about that story:
From the Story State section towards the right of the report, you can filter the report to view the cycle time of the stories for the selected states. The chart displays the cycle time for each story as the cumulative sum of all duration of the selected states. If there are too many stories at any area of the chart and the bubbles appear crowded on the report, you can zoom in that particular area of the report for a clearer view.
