I signed in to my Jira dashboard and navigated to the project page. Then, I clicked the Create button at the top.
Since there was only one project on the workspace, it was already selected by default. I then opened the WorkType dropdown and chose Epic.
Typed the Epic name in the Summary field.
Thenscrolled down to add the Description, selected an Assignee, and linked the relevant Team.
After reviewing the details, clicked Create, and the Epic was successfully added to the project.
To view the Epic, went to the Backlog tab on the project page. and clicked the dropdown arrow beside Epic to show the list.
The Epic was created and can be visible by navigationg to the backlog tab on the project page and clicking the dropdowm arrow beside the EPIC.
This dropdown shows the list of Epics. One couldchoose to filter tasks based on a specific Epic or view all Epics on the board by toggling Show Epic Panel.
