THEMES IN SCRUM
Products are typically described by hundreds of requirements which are organized in the product backlog. Theme or epics cannot be completed in one sprint so they are broken into more user stories and subsequently a group of related tasks. Epics are then delivered in releases. But even small user stories from different epics can have something in common. Such a group of user stories is called a theme
EPICS IN SCRUM
An Epic is useful as a placeholder for large requirements. It probably won’t fit into a sprint and should be broken down into stories. Epics are usually defined during the initial product roadmap and decomposed into stories in the product backlog as more is learned and is usually written in a User Story format. The decomposed stories in an epic have a common objective and a specific outcome or high-level user need or part of the journey or process someone takes in using the service.
USER STORIES IN SCRUM
User stories are the smallest units of user functionality in agile which can be delivered in one agile sprint. They are typically estimated using story pointed and defined using INVEST criteria. User stories should provide a vertical slice of functionality to the customer that is valuable and complete by the end of an iteration. A user story must provide particular value to the user and be described in simple language that outlines the desired outcome.
TASKS IN SCRUM
Tasks are decomposed parts of a story that get into HOW the story will be completed. Tasks can be hour estimated if desired. Tasks are usually defined by the people doing the work (developers, QA, etc), whereas stories and epics are generally created by the customer or the product owner on behalf of the customer. Thus, the tasks no longer need to be understandable by business users and so can be highly technical. Breaking a story down into tasks also helps the development team better understand what needs to be done.
