Epic

The Epic is placed over the Backlog Item and covers several coherent Backlog Items. An Epic roughly describes the requirements on the product.

Epics describe tasks that are implemented later. Most of the time, they need to be more detailed later and implementation starts after developing a better understanding of functionality.
