This article will explain how Epic page works.

Active Epics

When you open the page you can see active epics by default

Inactive Epics

No worked in last {timeframe} dropdown allows you to see all other epics inside your teams board.

Changing the timeframe will impact which epics belongs to the active epics section vs inactive epics sections.

Progress Percentages

For each epic you will see 2 percentages

  • Last 30 days: Depending on the timeframe you selected, will show how much of the issues inside the epic has been moved to done status category. The title will also change accordingly

  • In total: Shows how much of the issues inside the epic has been moved to done status category.

Note:

  • The %'s will include all issues, not just the issues completed by your team. You can see which issues where contributed by whom by drilling down.

  • Blue: Completed "before" this time frame

  • Green: Completed "during" this time frame

  • Gray: Not completed

Note:

FAQ

What epics are shown?

The epics are shown based on team board setting.

Haystack gets all the epics in your board (timeline in Jira). Team member filters do not have impact on the epics being shown. However, team members will have impact on the drill-ins to see which issues where contributed by which team.
