Epic visibility on board

Problem to solve

Epics not manageable or visible on board.

Intended users

Further details

Show epics on kanban board for the purpose of filtering issues, grouping issues, and ranking epics without assigning strict start/end dates.

Proposal

Add epics as cards to board view. Allow users to change the epic card position (rank) on the board, just like issues. Make epic visibility toggle-able, with option to only showing epics related to issues in current board view. This could make other epic features accessible:

  • issue search/filter by epic
  • highlight/focus related issues on epic click
  • epic and related issue cards visually grouped by color
  • auto-ranking issues based on epic rank
  • auto-closing issues/epics
  • [KILLER FEATURE] auto-plot epic position and timelines on roadmap (without explicit start/end dates)
