Use Epics for Business Projects

Question

Hello everyone,

I just created a new JIRA project for our business and corporate topics.

I used the SCRUM template (we are a game development company, comfortable with SCRUM) but when I select "Business" as Project Type, then I lose the ability to use epics.

Instead, I just get a basic Kanban board with no possibility no group stories/task by epic/topic.

Is there any other way?

Thanks a lot for your help!

I think I figured that out finally... Though it needed a lot of screens and fields adjustments.... But thank you!

FYI - I had to add field "Epic Name" to Issue Creat screen and other screens acordingly.

If they have been added to the project in the settings ( updating the available issue types ) and have a workflow assigned, then the epic/story should be available in the drop down list when creating a new isssue.

Hi Steve,

I've added epic and story to my issue types in my business project. But I can not find the way to actually create them in Business project - how do you do it?
