What Are Epics
An epic is a collection of related tickets that together represent a larger piece of work. For example, a "User Authentication" epic might contain tickets for login, signup, password reset, and session management.
Epics help you:
- Organize tickets by feature or initiative
- Track progress across multiple work items
- Provide high-level visibility into ongoing work
Creating an Epic
Create an epic from the project's epic list page. An epic requires a title and optionally a description. Once created, you can start linking tickets to it.
Linking Tickets to Epics
To link a ticket to an epic:
- Open the ticket's detail page
- Find the Epic field
- Select the parent epic from the dropdown
A ticket can belong to at most one epic. Changing or removing the epic link updates the epic's progress automatically.
Viewing Epic Progress
The epic detail page shows all linked tickets with their current statuses. A progress summary indicates how many tickets are open, in progress, done, and closed — giving you a quick overview of the initiative's state.
