Deliver your key business and customer initiatives using epics.
Epics allow your team to break-down roadmap initiatives into manageable chunks to help design, prioritize and deliver new features.
What are epics?
Epics help in managing complex projects by breaking them down into manageable chunks. They provide a high-level view of project progress and allow teams to prioritize work effectively, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives.
