[Apr 2025] Migration of Epics & Projects to Sub-issues

April 2025 · by Ev, VP of Engineering

 

Starting today, Zenhub will begin migrating all cloud customers to our new sub-issue based Epics & Projects.

With this migration, you'll gain more granular work hierarchy, improved organization, and clearer alignment between your daily tasks and strategic goals.

The key benefits include:

1. Additional levels of hierarchy to break down work more precisely
2. Automatic enforcement of consistent work structures across teams
3. Better visibility into how individual tasks connect to larger objectives
4. Improved Timeline view replacing the old Roadmap for better project tracking
5. Enhanced scalability as your organization grows
6. Better GitHub integration

For all customers

• All your existing roadmaps will automatically migrate to the new "Timeline" page.
• The "Epics" filter will disappear from the Work Tracker filter toolbar.
• Projects will be converted to GitHub issues or Zenhub issues with the "Project" issue type.
• The "Epic" option will disappear from the "Create" menu.

FAQ

How do I know if I'm using "Zenhub-based Epics" or "GitHub-powered Epics"?

If you see an "Epics" page in the main menu of Zenhub — you are using "Zenhub-based Epics", otherwise you're using "GitHub-powered Epics".
