Epic

Noun · Hacker Culture

Definitions

  1. A large body of work or planning unit that groups related stories, tasks, or features under a broader goal. In workplace culture epics help organize roadmaps, though they can also become vague containers where work goes to lose specificity.

    In plain English: A large planning item that contains related work.

    Example: "The team split the migration epic into clearer milestones because nobody could tell which part was blocked and which part was quietly done."
