Can Epics be shown on Scrum Board?

[Yonatan Schvimer]

My team is looking for a way to present Epics within the same board with Stories, Bugs etc. 
I am aware of the ability to see the 'Epics' in the 'Epic Panel' (which is not what we are looking for). 

I have seen on different videos/tutorials, that the 'Epic Panel' in the Board view can be 'toggled off' so that epics are shown as cards, but I am not able to see where/how to configure this option - The 'Epic Panel' toggle in the 'Board Settings - Columns' section doesn't appear.

Hello, the capability seems to be available when using team-managed project and not company-managed project unfortunately.

This what she's using in the video.

Hi @Yonatan Schvimer and welcome to the Community!

The epics panel can be toggled on/off on a kanban board, but not on a scrum board. Scrum is meant to work on issues in a short timeframe and those issues are not at the Epic level, but the level below (stories, bugs, tasks, ...).

So if you want to visualise Epics on a board, choose a kanban board instead. It is not uncommon to set up a dedicated kanban board that only has your team's Epics on it.

Hope this helps!

@Yonatan Schvimer,

Following up on your comment:

Thanks @Walter Buggenhout _ACA IT_ - But in different tutorials I am seen that this option exists on Scrum boards as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_8XfgrIeGM (here's a video tutorial showing, see 0:40 - ~1:30). 

You can clearly see in that video that this is a kanban board with the kanban backlog enabled. You cannot create sprints there, but it takes the overload of backlog issues from the actual kanban board.

that in the video looks like a Kanban board, not Scrum one!
