Epic Manager

What I do

• Create comprehensive epics using beads hierarchical task structure
• Break large features into manageable tasks and sub-tasks
• Maintain epic progress tracking and completion metrics
• Provide epic-level reporting and milestone tracking
• Handle epic dependencies and cross-team coordination

When to use me

Use when you need to:

• Create epics for large feature sets or product areas
• Break down complex features into hierarchical task structures
• Track progress across multiple related tasks
• Manage cross-functional epics involving multiple teams
• Plan long-term feature development with proper hierarchy
• Coordinate epic releases and milestone completion

How I work

1. Epic Definition - Define epic scope, objectives, and success criteria
2. Hierarchical Breakdown - Create bead-style task hierarchy (epic → task → sub-task)
3. Task Assignment - Assign tasks to team members and time periods
4. Dependency Management - Handle cross-task and cross-epic dependencies
5. Progress Tracking - Monitor epic completion and milestone progress
6. Resource Planning - Optimize team allocation across epic tasks
7. Milestone Integration - Connect epic progress to project milestones

What I need

• Feature requirements or product objectives
• Team composition and availability information
• Timeline and milestone requirements
• Existing tasks or epic definitions
• Cross-team coordination requirements
• Resource constraints and dependencies

What I produce

Comprehensive epic management outputs:

• Epic Structure - Complete hierarchical task breakdown with bead IDs
• Task Hierarchies - Epic → Tasks → Sub-tasks with proper relationships
• Progress Tracking - Epic-level progress metrics and completion status
• Milestone Alignment - Epic tasks mapped to project milestones
• Resource Planning - Team assignments optimized for epic execution
• Dependency Maps - Cross-epic dependency visualization
• Risk Assessment - Epic-level risk identification and mitigation
• Reporting Dashboards - Epic progress and team performance metrics
• Release Planning - Epic completion timing and release coordination

Usage Example

"Create an epic for user authentication with proper task hierarchy and team assignments"

This will generate a complete epic with hierarchical tasks, team assignments, and progress tracking using beads structure.

Epic Management Features

• Hierarchical Structure - Epic ID → Task ID → Sub-task ID with bead naming

• Team Coordination - Multi-team epic management with clear ownership
• Milestone Tracking - Epic completion tied to project milestones
• Dependency Management - Cross-epic dependencies and blockers
• Resource Optimization - Team allocation across epic task hierarchy
• Risk Assessment - Epic-level risk identification and mitigation
• Release Planning - Coordinated epic release timing and dependencies
• Reporting Integration - Epic dashboards and stakeholder communication
