Epics

Description of basic features

Epics

At the group level, main topics can be created as epics. Open Plan > Work Items, select New Item, and choose Epic as the type. To find existing epics, filter by Type: Epic.

Note: The screenshots show the previous interface with a separate Epics menu item.

Functions 1 and 2 are marked in the image.

An epic is a work item that groups related tasks across projects. The individual project activities are described in its child work items.

  1. Title (required) for the epic
  2. Write a description
  3. Additional settings such as assigning labels or setting a timeframe are possible

Functions 1 through 3 are marked in the image.

A created epic can be further configured:

  1. In the right column, additional settings such as assigning labels or setting a timeframe are possible
  2. Sub-elements in the form of new or existing epics and work items from projects can be added
  3. Under Linked Elements, epics can be connected to each other

Functions 1 through 3 are marked in the image.

Similar to issue boards, there are also Epic Views at the group level. However, sorting is only possible by labels.

Example of an epic view.

Clicking on "(1) Roadmap" in the sidebar displays the roadmap. Under "(2) Settings," the display can be adjusted.
