What are #Epics in #Atlassian #Jira Software?

If this is what you are asking yourself, then this video is right for you. In this video, I will summarize what Epics are and how to use them. Epics help you organize and "bucketize" your work.

Having a bunch of user stories in your backlog isn't very helpful if there is no method to the madness. Epics can be a very useful way to help tame all the different stories that are required to deliver a world-class product.

If you aren't using epics, or if you aren't sure you are using epics, give this video a watch.

Epics are a critical component of the agile methodology, and this video should help you get some direction on how to use Epics to organize your Jira issues.

If you haven't already, I recommend you check out my previous videos on how to create a Jira project. This video is the next logical step in my introduction to Jira series.

After you have created your very first Jira project, it is time to start exploring the user interface. Learning the basics here can really help you down the road.

Knowing how to find the information that is most critical to you and being savvy on where things are contained within the world of Jira are going to give you an edge over your teammates.

The problem with Epics is that they are defined in many levels in different ways. That makes them useless in a bigger scope of things.

In Jira we mostly work with team or system levels, which makes Epics Features, or larger groupings. That works well, until you add portfolio work where Epics are either projects, initiatives or even strategies depending on the level of your portfolio...
