Project Hierarchy Management: Epic, Story, Task, and Issues in Pronnel Teams

In Agile and Scrum project management, work is broken down into a defined hierarchy.
Pronnel Teams is a unified platform designed to manage this entire structure—from high-level Epics and Roadmaps to day-to-day Tasks and Issues.

What All Does It Do?

Epics broken down into Stories and Tasks.

Break Big Work into Clear Pieces

Turn large ideas into Epics, then split them into Stories and smaller Tasks so everyone knows what to do.

How it works?

Use Pronnel boards to create Epics for big goals, add Stories for user outcomes, and Tasks for the actual work steps.

Keep All Work in One Place

Manage Epics, Stories, Tasks, and Issues on the same platform instead of jumping between many tools.

Less Context Switching
Teams don’t need to switch tools to see the full picture.

Link Issues Directly to Stories and Epics

Attach bugs and Issues to the Stories and Epics they belong to so impact is always clear.

How it works?

When logging an Issue, link it to the Story or Epic. Those links show up in detail views and reports.

Advantages

Full Traceability
You can always see which work items were affected by which Issues.

Smarter Decisions
Know which Epics are risky because they have more bugs.

Run Sprints Using the Hierarchy

Pick Stories and Tasks from your backlog, move them into sprints, and track progress with Agile metrics.

How it works?

Use Sprint boards to pull ready Stories and Tasks, then track their movement across columns like To Do, In Progress, and Done.

Advantages

Predictable Delivery
Sprints are filled with work that is clearly defined and linked to Epics.

Better Focus
Teams work on a clear set of Stories instead of scattered tasks.

Report on Progress at Every Level

Use dashboards to see how Epics, Stories, Tasks, and Issues are moving over time.

How it works?

Agile Dashboards pull data from all levels of the hierarchy so you can see velocity, open Issues, and overall health.

Advantages

Fast Insight
Spot slow-moving Epics or overloaded teams quickly.

FAQs: We have answers to your Questions

What is the primary difference between a Story and a Task?

A Story represents what the user needs—a piece of user-facing value. A Task represents how the team implements that value—an engineering, design, or operational step required to complete the Story.

Can an Epic be completed in a single sprint?

Typically, no. Epics are intentionally large and are meant to span multiple sprints. They are broken down into smaller Stories that can be completed within a single sprint.

Where do Bugs fit into the Epic-Story-Task hierarchy?

Bugs are usually treated as an Issue type that exists alongside Stories and Tasks. They are often linked back to the Story or Epic where the defect was introduced, ensuring full traceability.
