Is it better to have a component with multiple epics assigned to it?
Or
Have a large epic with multiple components grouping the stories together?
Hi @Jim Jensen
I feel it is always better to leave the components out of the hierarchy. Your hierarchy is always addressed by your issuetypes.
Components are basically grouping of your issues based on some criteria that makes sense in your project.
Normally, you will have a large epic that will be split to stories and you can group the issues (irrespective of the type) to components.
For eg: If I have 2 components namely network and database, I will segregate all my issues based on these categories irrespective of the type. So network component might have epics,stories,tasks etc and the same with database component too.
Best practice is to leave hierarchy while grouping based on components
Basically it is a organizing feature in Jira.
Hope this helps!
OK, so you are saying group by component within an epic.
I'll give that a try. Thanks!
