Epic Details

Epic Details

Manage epic details including:

Basic Information

• Epic name and description
• Priority level
• Release assignment
• Last edited timestamp

Links

The description can be used to create links with hash tags. Just type in the hash tag and you’ll get a list of other items in the project, which you then can link to. When they are linked in the description, they are “really linked” and will be shown in the linked items view. The corresponding items will list the epic in the references.

AI Integration

Epic details can be automatically populated with the help of your favourite AI model. Just roughly type up what you think is the epic description and let the AI do the rest. Configure your AI settings in AI Settings.

Tasks & Evaluation

• Track external costs
• Either set a fixed cost, or use the summed effort of the stories as the cost.
  • This is especially useful when you are in the starting phase of the project and the stories don’t have any effort estimates yet. You don’t even need stories to start with, you can just set the epic cost directly.
  • Then, when further progress has been made and the stories have effort estimates, you can just keep the effort estimates and change the cost type to the summed effort of the stories.

Effort Estimation

storywise will tell you in overview views if the fixed set effort is less than the sum of the story efforts.
