Oops I Did it Again... Maybe My Story Really is an Epic
Enterprise Agile Planning
This is something I hear quite often from the Product Owners I speak with. Initially they captured their stories (aka features, requirements, backlog, etc.) thinking that it was at a reasonable size for the team to work on. However, as time goes by the Product Owner realizes that this single piece of work is too large to be consumed in a single iteration."Oh no! Am I going to have to delete my Story from VersionOne? Do I create an Epic and copy/paste all the original information from the Story? There has to be an easier way!"Well there is! Your friends at VersionOne know that this scenario pops up so we've provided a simple solution specifically for this. See the screenshots below:

Summary:- On your Story select the "Breakdown Epic" option from the drop/down
- Capture any additional data you need before confirming your Epic
- Now since an Epic has been generated you can edit and add Child Stories which you want associated to the Epic
