What is an Epic?

An epic represents a large, multi-part goal that is typically too big to implement in a single sprint.

Characteristics of an Epic

  • Epics have flexible scopes. Issues can be added, edited, and removed as needed.
  • In contrast to sprints, epics are not timeboxed.
  • It can take several sprints to complete an epic, and that's okay!

Epics are essentially just big issues. For example, feat: improve donor reports would be an epic, while fix: clarify reports navigation would be an issue within that epic.
