00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.630
Here's how to plan an epic

00:00:01.630 --> 00:00:03.093
on the Jira timeline,

00:00:03.093 --> 00:00:05.520
then turn that plan into a sprint.

00:00:06.133 --> 00:00:08.536
Backlog items on their own don't tell

00:00:08.536 --> 00:00:10.611
the bigger story. An epic groups

00:00:10.611 --> 00:00:12.781
related work under one goal.

00:00:13.367 --> 00:00:16.035
On the Timeline tab, click Create,

00:00:16.035 --> 00:00:18.884
name your epic, like Usage dashboard,

00:00:18.884 --> 00:00:21.431
then press Create to add it.

00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:24.340
Open the Backlog, click Epic

00:00:24.340 --> 00:00:26.332
on any work item, and pick

00:00:26.332 --> 00:00:29.404
Usage dashboard from the recent list.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.162
With those items in a sprint,

00:00:32.162 --> 00:00:34.378
click Start sprint, add a goal,

00:00:34.378 --> 00:00:35.808
and press Start.

00:00:37.333 --> 00:00:39.281
Jira opens the board filtered

00:00:39.281 --> 00:00:40.786
to your new sprint,

00:00:40.786 --> 00:00:43.741
with every card tied back to the epic.

00:00:44.333 --> 00:00:46.835
Create the epic, link the work, start

00:00:46.835 --> 00:00:49.901
the sprint. That's epic planning in Jira.
