How to re-use epics between team-managed projects

[Ralf Fahney]

Hi everyone,

our epics are defined from a business perspective. We need multiple teams to implement them.

• How could we re-use those epics between team-managed projects?
• How could we even re-use those epics between team-managed and company-managed projects?

Thanks in advance & Kind regards

Ralf

I don’t understand what you mean by reuse an epic. Epix or issues that contain stories or tasks. You can continue to add stories or tasks to your epic as long as you like. An epic can have stories/tasks from multiple projects in CMPs.

CMP = company managed projects?

My question relates to team managed projects. 

• Could I assign issues of one team managed project to an epic of another team managed project? If yes, then how?
• Or are team managed projects self contained with respect to epics in the same way as they are with respect to custom fields (https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/How-to-re-use-custom-fields-between-team-managed-projects/qaq-p/1741276)

Sorry, your second bullet mentioned CMP as well. My poin is that while you can have an epic within a CMP consist of issues from different projects this is not the case for TMP.

you cannot mix issues from different TMPs under an epic within a TMP

This issue affects me too. We have a TMP with epics. I want to assign issues from another CMP to one of those epics from the TMP. TMP epics don't show in `Epic link` field of CMP issues.

Is there a bug/feaure request for this?

CMP = company managed project.
TMP = team managed project.
