Azure Devops – Features, Epics, User Stories and Tasks
High Level and Lower Level Components in Agile (azure devops)
Epics and Features are higher level containers. User Stories and Tasks are more sub-level components.
- Epics can DIRECTLY be broken into User Stories/Tasks (aka backlog items)
- Epics IDEALLY need to be broken down into Features.
- Features can be broken down into User Stories / Tasks / Backlog Items. These tasks / stories are what fit into SPRINTS.
How to add a task to an Epic?

Where does a backlog item fit in?
Typically, a backlog item is a task that belongs to a Feature (or directly to an Epic).
Are features usually shared across tickets spanning over multiple iterations?
