If you would be interested in an app to help with Epic progress, you may want to try our plugin.

[Issue Hierarchy](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1228019/issue-hierarchy-structure?hosting=cloud&tab=overview)

The app shows your Epic and its children hierarchy in a tree view. The app can help you easily Sum up values (time tracking/story point/custom numeric fields) to see overall progress for your Issues at each parent level, in percentage terms.

You can easily add it as a dashboard gadget too. Do try it out.

(Disclaimer: I work on RVS, the vendor for this app)

What exactly are you wanting to see? Most likely you will need a third party app.

Try the **Pivot Table \& Pivot Chart** gadget offered by our [Great Gadgets](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=stonikbyte%20great%20gadgets%20agile) app. It can display multi-dimensional statistics by various criteria like issue count, sum of story points, or percentages.

Specifically for your need, this can be done with a few clicks. Epics completion can be displayed in various ways with this gadget. All you have to do is to configure this gadget to use the Epic Link and Status Category fields.

**Epics Progress As Table**

**Epics Progress As Heat-Map Table**

**Epics Progress As Multiple Pie Charts** - you can choose from various chart types. In this case I recommend the multi-pie chart
