Epics
Epics let you group related tasks into a single initiative. Think of an epic as a big goal — like "Q3 Product Launch" or "Office Relocation" — that's broken down into smaller, trackable tasks.
Why Use Epics?
Without epics, large projects become a scattered list of tasks. Epics give you:
- Organization — All related tasks under one umbrella
- Progress tracking — Automatic completion percentage based on linked tasks
- Visibility — See the big picture instead of individual tasks
- Filtering — Filter the Kanban board to show only tasks from a specific epic
Where to Find Epics
Go to Tasks → Epics tab to see all epics.
Epic Information
Each epic shows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The epic title (e.g., "Q3 Marketing Campaign") |
| Description | What this initiative is about |
| Status | Active, Completed, or Cancelled |
| Progress | Percentage calculated from completed vs total linked tasks |
| Task Count | How many tasks are linked |
| Start / End Date | Timeline for the initiative |
Epic Numbering
Epics are automatically numbered sequentially: EPC-1, EPC-2, EPC-3, etc. This makes them easy to reference in conversations and comments.
