FAQPage Schema

How do I discover epics from existing code and documentation?▼

Epic discovery evaluates candidate boundaries using structural and semantic code analysis, measuring cohesion, independence, and value to generate specifications. It supports domain-driven and legacy codebases to streamline project planning.

Can I use code analysis to break down a large feature into manageable epics?▼

Yes, code analysis scans your codebase structure, semantic patterns, and dependencies to suggest how to break down a large feature into manageable epics based on your current project architecture and existing documentation.

Does epic discovery work with legacy codebases or only domain-driven projects?▼

Epic discovery supports both legacy codebases and domain-driven projects. It performs structural and semantic code analysis to evaluate epic candidates based on cohesion and independence, recommending next steps for refinement and planning.

What is the best way to define project epics from a codebase?▼

The best way to define project epics is to analyze structural patterns and dependencies, evaluate potential boundaries for cohesion and value, and generate epic specifications that inform agile project planning and requirements gathering.

When do I need automated epic discovery for project planning?▼

You need automated epic discovery when starting a new large feature or streamlining agile planning, using structural and semantic code analysis to identify potential epic boundaries and define project specifications from existing codebases.
