Epics not showing as In Progress? In your Jira workflow, each workflow status is assigned a status category: ‘To Do', ‘In Progress' or ‘Done'. For every Epic we check it’s current workflow status and its status category to determine if the Epic is not yet started, in progress, or completed. If you want Epics to appear as , make sure you have transitioned them to an In Progress workflow status. We don’t assume that just because an issue in the Epic is In Progress, that you want to consider the entire Epic as In Progress as there are some use cases where that wouldn’t be accurate. We prefer to have you be explicit about this. Want your Epics to automatically move to an In Progress workflow status when you start an issue inside your Epic? Jira has automation features that make this possible.Read our FAQ on how we determine which Epics are In Progress and which aren’t |
