JIRA Hieararchy

[Srinivas Sriperumbudur]

We have a hierarchy set from Initiative to capabilities to epics, under epics, we have stories, tasks, and defects. 

We plan our work for each quarter, mainly targeting the epics to be delivered. Can someone explain with examples of a capability and epics linked to that Capability? I am still not clear on if Capability is also called as feature.

Thanks,

Srinivas

Hi @Srinivas Sriperumbudur 

Actually JIRA come with hierarchy such as Epic, standard type (Story, Task, Bug) then Sub-task type. AR allow you to add more level on top of that and it's within you company to decide the meaning of each level.

You can leverage methodology such as SAFe or others.
