- 2. Epics • An Epic is a large body of work that can be broken down into smaller tasks (stories). • Example: Developing a new feature for a product.
- 3. Stories • A Story is a user requirement or feature that needs to be implemented. • Example: As a user, I want to be able to reset my password so that I can regain access to my account.

- 9. Permissions • Permissions control what users can see and do in Jira. • Example: Only project admins can delete issues.
- 10. Sample Project Walkthrough • In this section, we will walk through a sample project from initiation to delivery using Jira Data Center. We will cover creating epics, stories, tasks, and bugs, setting up workflows, and using boards to track progress.
