When it comes to software development, breaking down complex projects into smaller, more manageable tasks is essential. This is where the concept of epics comes in. An epic is a large body of work that can be broken down into smaller, more manageable units called stories. By breaking down an epic into stories, you can more effectively manage the project, assign tasks to team members, and track progress.

A Jira epic template is a pre-defined format for documenting and managing epics. It typically includes fields for the epic's title, description, priority, and other relevant details. By using jira epics template, you can ensure that all epics are documented in a consistent and organized manner, which makes it easier to manage them over time.
