Epic

An epic is a container for a set of related user stories that together deliver a significant outcome, too big to complete in a single sprint. Epics keep the backlog organized around meaningful goals and are broken down into stories as they get closer to development. A good epic is a comma-separated domain name plus a two-sentence description of the outcome.
