Must an epic end within a single release?

Michael Kogan January 24, 2019

Dear Community,

 

Is it recommended to span an epic over more than one release? I have epics that contain stories some of them cannot make it into one release. Should I create a new epic for those and assign the new epic to the new release?

 

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

instead of creating a new epic you can also assign more than one release (or fix version in Portfolio) to the epics. Does this help you?

Regards,

Phil

Thanks Phil,

Unfortunately this does not help: if I have an epic with a story that goes into release N and another story that goes into N+1  and I assign the epic to both releases then there is no way for me to rank the epic so it satisfies priorities in the two releases.

My question was a general one: is it a good practice to have epics that span two releases or the guideline is to restrict an epic to a single release?
