How to Show the Epics in Jira Backlog

Use this interactive demo to learn how to display epics in your Jira scrum backlog.

Quick summary

The Jira Epic Panel lets you visualize epics directly in the backlog view by enabling it through View Settings. This three-step process requires no admin rights and takes under a minute to complete.


Steps

  1. In your Jira scrum board, head over to the top menu bar and click Backlog.
  2. Click View Settings in the top-right corner of the backlog page.
  3. Find Epic Panel from the list, then switch on the toggle button next to it.
  4. The Epic Panel will now appear in your Jira backlog, displaying all your epics.

📌 Why this matters

Showing epics in the Jira backlog gives scrum teams instant visibility into how individual stories and tasks map to larger strategic initiatives. The Epic Panel feature eliminates the need to switch between views, reducing context-switching and improving sprint planning accuracy. Teams that surface epics directly in the backlog can prioritize work more effectively and keep stakeholders aligned on high-level progress. Enabling this setting takes less than a minute and significantly improves backlog organization for agile teams.
