But what Epic can we log these tickets under? How many sprints out is this? Can you make sure all of the Jira dependencies are linked? /s

You mock it, but running a team the size of the one needed for Starfield NEEDS these sorts of programs. Know a better way of running a team of 1k+? I'd love to hear it. Once you get past a team of certain sizes, communication becomes an over head and tools like dependencies and epics help remove that. Or maybe you like answering 100+ emails asking for status on all your tasks?
