Start to Create Child Issues

Now you need to create child issues for each Epic. These are the individual Stories that are required to be completed for the Epic.

To start, click on the Create Child Issue button.

Child Issues will be created by default as Stories. Give each story a name and complete as many of them as you want to support the Epic. Don't try to think of all of them, as you will gain more insight into what needs to be done as you progress.

These Stories are automatically being gathered into your Backlog. When you get to the stage of creating a Sprint, you will drag the Stories to be completed in that Sprint from the Backlog.

Jira will automatically create the Scrum Board, with the items that you have dragged into the Sprint showing in the To Do column.

The next task is to start estimating how much you can get done during a Sprint. This requires the allocation of Story Points to each Story.

Back to the Roadmap

Go back to the Roadmap with its list of Stories under each Epic.

We will start Part 3 of the training with assigning Story Points and then move to inspecting the Backlog and creating our Sprint and Scrum Board
