How to show epic in kanban board of software project, team-managed type?

[Nha_]

I've built a software project using team-managed type, but when I check my kanban board, I cannot see the epic, it only shows the task & sub-task level, I cannot find anywhere the tool to make the epic visible in the columns of the board. 

attachment is the view of my board

Hello @Nha_ 

For Team Managed projects it is not possible to show a card on the board for the Epic issues. They can only be displayed on the board as headers for swimlanes when you use the Group By Epic option, or shown in the Backlog screen in the Epics panel.

There is still a bug/feature request open for this: [JSWCLOUD-15533] Show Epics with No Stories on Kanban Board When Swimlanes are Based on Epics - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.

Hi @Nha_ 

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Please perform the below in order to see the Epics on Team Managed Project Kanban Board:

1. In order to View the issues with their Epic, select Group By "Epic" on Board from Top right side corner as shown in below screenshot. This change with show Epics and it's Story/Task
   
2. In order to show all the Epics on Kanban Board, need to enable the Backlog first by following below:
   1. Go to Project Settings --> Features --> Enable the Backlog:
      
      
      
   2. After that click on Back to project and click on Backlog --> Epic and enable the Epic Panel
      
      
      

All this configuration, will enable the Epic Panel in Backlog where all the Epic will be visible.

Please check and see if this helps you.

Thank you,

it did help with the backlog enabled, I can see the epic in the backlog section but in the kanban board I still cannot see the epic showing, it appeared like this after I enabled the backlog feature in project setting.

Please advise me more

Hi @Nha_ ,

You can go to configure section of your board ,if you are a board administrator and then in Card layout section you can Add Epic Link or Epic name field as per your requirement .

Your answer applies only to a board for a Company Managed project, not to a board for a Team Managed project which is what the poster indicated they are using.
