What reports to start with in project management?

[Andrei Pisklenov _Actonic_]

Hey, Jira enthusiasts!
After years of using "Burndown Chart" I've realized that I still miss a lot of reporting functionality, like "Burndown Chart" for more then one sprint, or even for a custom filter. And it is just one of examples of reports which does not exist. It's hard to imagine how many useful reports I'm not aware of. Let's share our experience!
What reports in Jira do you use every day (built-in or from some 3rd party add-ons)? Which of them do really save your time efforts?
Do you have any ideas of reports which does not exist now and you would be very happy to have?

Hi @Andrei Pisklenov _Actonic_ .

Have you had the chance to check out Custom Charts for Jira Reports yet?

Hopefully it has some useful features you'll find helpful.

Many of our Customers are benefiting from easy reporting with additional functionality, directly in Jira Dashboards.

Thank you, @Chris Cooke Old Street Apps 

Sounds interesting.

What most popular report types would you recommend to start with? For which of them do you have proven feedback that they are good?

Since we started this conversation, we've released the ability to make 2 dimensional grouped or stacked bar charts, as well as the ability to chart by date.

With the ability to chart by saved filters, advanced JQL and integrations with any add-on that keeps data in Jira fields, I'd be interested to know what charts you can't make!

Hey fellow enthusiast @Andrei Pisklenov _Actonic_ 

For project management and forecasting, usually would use the version and release burndown for forecasting and tracking. The sprint and the kanban charts mostly used when working closer with teams. 

The built in report has been sufficient in most cases. In my own experience, sometimes project management may want a more statistics into the data, in that case I use Eazy BI. 

Other than that, atlassian does a great job a focus on the core essentials.
