Why are Version Report, Release Burndown, and Epic Burndown being retired?
All 3 reports I regularly use. The most frustrating part about all of this is that there is seemingly no alternative being added as a replacement. Not a better version, not the same version, but simply nothing.
If there truly are going to be replacements/alternatives, I would love to be made aware of this, as I will end up needing to create all 3 of these reports myself.
Is there a reason as to why it is being retired? What are you all going to use instead?

Hi @patrick
Indeed, it does appear that these project reports are being retired, and it's not yet clear whether they will be replaced with something equivalent. Some of this reporting functionality may eventually be implemented through Analytics, but that's a Premium/Enterprise feature.
In the meantime, another option is to look for an app (add-on) on the Atlassian Marketplace that provides the reports or diagrams you need.
If you're considering using an app, one possible alternative is the Release Burndown Burnup Chart gadget included in our Great Gadgets app. It provides advanced reporting capabilities and may be a good replacement for these reports, depending on your needs.
The gadget can track cross-team releases, versions, or epics, it can forecast ETA based on velocity, allows displaying milestones, and is highly configurable.

Really @Edwin Stol? Because I'm reading that this "EAP gives you access to the dashboards beta in Atlassian Home"
So that's this:
(Which I think is what you see at https://home.atlassian.com/)
I've just turned this on for my test site:
And from this description, they sound targeted at individuals and teams, NOT projects:
Home dashboards are for individuals and teams to find and resume work and understand the progress of their work across the Atlassian apps on a particular site. They offer flexible reporting with a wide set of data points and don’t require technical expertise to configure. Home dashboards are available to paid plans (availability to free plans coming around mid-2025).
Ah, here's what it looks like:
I created dashboards using each of the templates, and got these:
Editing those Dashboards, I see many of the same Widgets and Templates as on the new Reports Dashboards, and it looks like you can do some sharing of Dashboards:
This is interesting though, and really does lead me to believe these are NOT your regular Jira reports or dashboards:
Q: Can I use JQL saved filters or Jira boards to populate data for my dashboard?
Home dashboards don’t support using JQL saved filters or Jira boards to refine your data.
As Home dashboards supports data from across all your Atlassian tools, we support a general set of dashboard filters that allow you to drill-down across all of your app data.
Hi all!
tl;dr - I don't know for sure, but I think it has to do with a new Space Insights feature.
So I happened to remember covering a new Dashboard something or another that is coming to Bundled Release Tracks next month (and apparently is hitting Standard sites and those not on Release Tracks now), and totally thought this had something to do with that:
Notably it says:
4. To find existing reports like burndown or velocity charts, select the more reports button at the top left of the view.
But yeah, on my Enterprise Test Site I have the exact same screen as after going to the Reports tab and clicking [More reports].
I'll note that the "new" Reports are in a modal, instead of the old Reports tab. So I checked my Free Test Site that usually gets things later, and I also have RETIRING lozenges for three completely different reports — Time Tracking, User Workload, and Version Workload:
I was going to ask you to click the links next to the lozenges, but ugh, apparently they are FEEDBACK LINKS. Lame.
Oh, we've got some feedback all right. :-P
Selecting one of those reports, I get this very unhelpful banner:
I can't help but think that this has something to do with the new Space Insights thing. They have a whole video about it on their new Seasonal Jira Releases (🎅?) website at https://jira.launchnotes.io/:
Because it is a Loom video, I am adding a comment for @Ben Payne asking if he knows anything about the deprecation of old Reports. (Hi Ben!)
I'll keep digging around for what's up with the Reports deprecations....
[Thanks to @Trudy P Claspill for lighting up the bat signal.]
