I used to work on a project management tool, and everyone wanted "reporting", but when you got down to what they needed it was usually pretty minimal.

But to really get anywhere with that you need everyone to have put in the required metadata, to be correctly linking tickets that block each other, to be providing estimates upfront and tracking time, to be accurately capturing the work in tickets. You also need people not to be sandbagging and then using the "extra" time to perform localized refactors and other cleanup that they can't otherwise get buy-in for.
As a bonus we handled everything a ranges (that task? 1-4 days) so you'd get results like: this project is 90% likely to be done by a given date, 98% by this much later date you're going to hate.
Obviously, I can audit every single story that was modified during the sprint, and/or make spreadsheets or custom BI reports, and stuff... but I don't wanna!
