User stories are linked to an epic when created, so every story card shows its parent epic. The epic view shows a progress bar based on how many of its stories have been completed. Product owners use epics to plan quarterly roadmaps and track delivery of a full feature set across multiple sprints.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>When to Use Epic<\/h2>\n<p>Use epics when a feature is too large to fit into a single sprint and needs to be broken into smaller, independently deliverable stories. Indian software teams building ERP modules or mobile apps often create one epic per module, such as &#8220;Purchase Order Module&#8221; or &#8220;Driver App Tracking,&#8221; and populate it with 10 to 20 user stories that ship incrementally.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Key Considerations<\/h2>\n<p>An epic should have a clear definition of done so the team knows when to close it. Avoid creating epics so broad that they never complete, as this blocks progress reporting. In Zoho Sprints, filtering the backlog by epic helps during planning sessions to ensure each sprint contributes toward the same business goal.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\">\n<h3>India Example<\/h3>\n<p>A Hyderabad-based logistics software company creates an epic called &#8220;Driver Mobile App&#8221; containing 14 user stories covering login, trip tracking, delivery confirmation, and earnings summary. Over three two-week sprints, the team ships the stories in order of priority, and the epic progress bar moves from 0 to 100 percent as each story closes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\">\n    <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/user-story-zoho-sprints\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">User Story<\/a><br \/>\n    <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/backlog-zoho-sprints\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Backlog<\/a><br \/>\n    <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/sprint-zoho-sprints\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Sprint<\/a><br \/>\n    <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/scrum-board-zoho-sprints\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Scrum Board<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\">\n<h3>How is an epic different from a project in Zoho Sprints?<\/h3>\n<p>A project in Zoho Sprints is the top-level container that holds all sprints, epics, and stories.
