Description of the Hierarchy

This document delineates a comprehensive approach to selecting epics, leveraging Smart Issue Templates for Cloud (SITC) to automate and refine the selection process. The goal is to ensure a strategic, efficient, and effective method for evaluating, planning, and initiating epics, with distinct roles and responsibilities assigned to each task within the process.

Main Components and Workflow:

The Epic Selection Process is segmented into precise tasks and sub-tasks, each earmarked for a specific role. The workflow includes various critical stages such as initial feasibility and alignment evaluation, detailed requirement gathering, in-depth planning and resource allocation, and obtaining final approval before kick-off.

Application Across an Organization:

This structured process is engineered to efficiently involve several departments:

• Strategic Planning: Guides the initial assessment to ensure the epic aligns with organizational goals.

• Project Management and Product Development: Spearhead the planning, requirements gathering, and execution phases.

• Quality Assurance: Ensures the epic meets predefined success metrics and quality standards.

• Risk Management: Identifies and documents potential risks in the early stages of the process.

Outcome and Benefits:

Implementing the Epic Selection Process hierarchy through SITC dramatically improves the precision and efficiency of selecting epics. It guarantees thorough assessment, clear definition of requirements, meticulous planning, and smooth kick-off, leading to well-aligned, feasible, and strategically planned epics. This methodology fosters improved coordination across teams, clearer communication, and a more structured, outcome-focused approach to project initiation.
