How to Remove Epic from Backlog

Shelli June 2, 2016

We have an epic that has been completed.  All of the associated issues are closed as well as the epic itself.  However, it still shows up in the agile board backlog.  How can I remove it?

See this article from the JIRA documentation for marking epics as done:

Thanks!  One would think marking the epic/issue as done would have been enough.

I had the same question (and confusion) some time ago. smile
