Team Pulse and Epics

[John]

Does TeamPulse handle EPICS?  My attempt does not seem right i've created a UserStory and tagged it as EPIC and then created some Child User Stories.  When I plan my iteration I want to only assign my child User Stories which I can do but that leaves the parent user stories hanging out there is there a better way or should I just forget the EPICS?

Hi John,

 Your approach is almost the same as what we are doing when planning epics. Something that I would suggest you is to use iterations hierarchy (check attached screenshot). This way you may assign the epic to a parent iteration and the child stories to the concrete iteration it will be implemented. This will also make epics easier to track in the context of a concrete release, not hanging out in the whole backlog.

Kind regards,
