I have a set of personas and am in the progress of writing some perfect world user journeys.
I have seen Epics mentioned a ew times but don’t quite get what they are, how I create them and whether I need them.

Hello @rachelreveley,
Epic is composed of multiple stories and its efforts span multiple sprints. But when to create an epic? Some team put a threshold value like, if there are more than ‘n’ user stories, of same focus area in a project, then it’s good to create an epic and attach all ‘n’ of those user stories to that Epic. for example,
we have these independent stories in our board
Group stories based on area focus and we get two groups
Group 1: user login and authentication
Group 2: user management
Apply threshold to the grouping.
let say our decided value is 3 and Group 2 have 4 stories. so lets make group 2 as an Epic.
Now our board look like this
