Version and epic reports

In this section about reporting, we're going to talk about version and epic reports.

In this section, we're going to learn about what version and epic reports are. Again, they're very similar.

It is basically the same kind of report, but it allows us to look at a specific version or a specific epic, and then we get some sort of forecast as to when that item will be completed.
