Jira Epics 101 - Learning the Basics

An Epic in Jira is a single goal or deliverable that is broken down into a group of related tasks that can be worked on independently. In this video, our Atlassian Director, Josh Kochelek, will break down everything you need to know about Epics. From what an Epic is, to its purpose and best practices.
In Jira, Epics are a special issue type (similar to Task or Story) that can be created by users, with associated fields, screens, and a workflow.
Epics are just one of many ways to organize your team’s work in Jira software and offer a variety of features and benefits for teams using the product. These features were designed to help implement Agile methodologies, but are powerful for any team looking to improve their abilities for planning work, predicting timelines, and adapting to changes as they arise.

Best Jira problem explanations I found so far are from this channel. Most of the other content feels like 90% filler sentences and a demonstration how to click two buttons to achieve almost nothing

Excellent intro to Epics and I'm headed right over to Components next as we're trying to put an end to Epics without an end date. Great video, looking forward to checking out more now.

When you receive your EPIC from your task manager/product owner/team leader as a Business Analyst, how do you proceed/go about to do your day to day tasks with that EPIC piece of work?

If I create an Epic ticket with subtasks, I am able to preview the epic ticket in the backlog? and I am able to add an epic ticket to a sprint?

Hey there. When you are viewing the drop down in the epic panel from the backlog, do you know how the "estimate" is figured? I know you can set it to show from either story points or time, depending on what you use. What I'd like to know is, when you're using story points, what drives the estimate? I know it's not a straight total of all of the issues within that epic that have been pointed. Can you shed some light? Thanks!

How can I link the epics to milestones?

[biomagician]

Hello, thanks for the video. Do you have a recommendation for how long an epic should last?

Hi Josh, I have a question. Let's say I am working in a project that has this parts, a web app, a mobile app, and a Rest API. Should i create 3 different kanban boards? or 1 kanban board and the 3 parts should be created as components?
