Scope of viewing your epic progress
An epic is considered to be a larger user story that contains work items across different sprints. When compared to a sprint, an epic has a maximum number of work items which take a longer duration to complete.
Teams that work agile estimate their effort either based on the estimation points that are assigned to the work items or directly depend on the number of work items.
Example: Let's assume you are a software development firm that specializes in tourism management. You've created an epic for a user story where your customer wants a customize option for the travel itinerary for users to add or remove places and have it validated for possibility. You've create and added the relevant work items. The team estimates the progress by using estimation points. You want to know how many points are completed in the epic.
Using the data displayed for Progress by Points under each epic, you can easily track the Total Points in each epic and the Completed Points. You can also track the completion percentage (%) of the epic and analyze in-depth progress of each epic using the Epic Progress report. Learn more.
