How to combine user stories from different EPIC under the same project for the sprint?

Question

Hi All,

I have a API integration project (main project), under that i have created multiple EPICS based on API integration, Core changes, Payment Gateway integration etc. I wanted to pic user stories from different EPIC's under the same project to run the sprint?

Is it feasible? How it can be accomplished?

Can i group them based on Themes and run the sprint?

Any suggestions

Yes - as I said before, the Epic is irrelevant, just assign the Stories to the sprints you want them in, it doesn't matter which Epic they sit under.

Hi Pete,

If i have multiple API integration and also Front end & Back end core changes. I'm planning to create Epic for

Epic 1: API Integration

Epic 2: Front end & Back end core change + GUI changes

Based on the features, i'm planning to group User Stories from both the EPIC for sprint planning. Is this feasible.

I'm not sure I understand your question.  You use Epics to group the Stories (based on Features or something similar).  Then you assign Stories to sprints to complete the work.  When all stories are complete under an Epic then you can complete that Epic.
