Initiative creation

ganagaraj

I want to create an initiative as a level above an epic. Everytime I create a level on the hierarchy, The number on the new level is 2 and epic still remains 1 (as indicated in the screenshot below). How do i get initiative to get to level 1? Do i rename epic as initiative?

@ganagaraj Mostly many teams used Initiative as a highest level (means above the Epic) and the Epic is the default level 1. And as Epic is on default level 1 currently there may be work items of type Epic and hold the childs underneath.

Now, if you want to Add Initiative on the Epic lievel 1 and Epic should be on level 2 then you need to add Initiative on level 1 ( so Epic and initiative on the same level 1) move all the Epics to Initiative, so that all the epic become Initiative and remove the Epic from level 1.

After that you can add Epic is on the level 2 above Initiative and Initiative is on the level 1.

BTW, think before making this change as its a global entity and will impact across the project on the site.
