Use this interactive demo to learn how to create and display an Epic on your Jira board.

Quick summary

Adding an Epic to a Jira board lets teams group related issues under a single high-level initiative for clearer sprint planning. Use the Epics Panel in Jira's Board view to create and track epics directly alongside your active work.


Steps

  1. Navigate to the Board where you want the epic to appear.
  2. Click View Settings to locate the Epics Panel on the left side of the screen.
  3. If the Epics Panel is not visible, click the Epic button on the left to display it.
  4. Confirm your newly created epic appears automatically in the Epics Panel.

📌 Why this matters

Adding Epics to a Jira board gives agile teams a structured way to group related user stories and tasks under a single high-level goal, making sprint planning and roadmap tracking significantly more efficient. The Epics Panel in Jira's Board view provides instant visibility into large-scale work items without leaving the active sprint context. Teams that use Jira Epics can better prioritize backlogs, measure progress at the initiative level, and align development work with business objectives. This feature is essential for any team using Jira Software to manage complex, multi-sprint projects.
