Epic – in Agile

An Epic in Agile is a large body of work that can be broken down into smaller, more manageable parts called user stories. It represents a significant business goal or feature that spans multiple iterations or sprints.

Epics help organize and prioritize complex work across teams by providing a high-level view of requirements. They are essential in Agile project planning, especially for roadmapping and strategic alignment. Typically tracked using Agile tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, or Rally, epics ensure that the development effort remains connected to overall product objectives and customer needs.
