Hi, does anybody know whether velocity chart can show epics commited and delivered in sprints? that would be useful! Thanks. Wojciech

Hi @Wojciech Cora ,

I think it is not feasible.

Epics are different from stories.

They are a big user story and need to be split, so epic cannot be completed in one sprint.

Similarly, in Jira you can't put an epic story into a particular sprint, they cross the sprint.

Hi @Ollie Guan for prompt answer. We use Epics as an representation of the business value and we aim for delivering several epics in each sprint. (thats our configuration and I have to live with it). 

Velocity chart for issues would be ideal for presentation of sprint outcome only if we could change all small issues into epics... 

is there any lifehack to do that?

thanks

Wojciech
