The right hierarchy makes
everything easier
Bundle work into epics

Enable with just one toggle
Custom properties: text, dropdown, member fields and more
Configure epics within a project or across the workspace
Three layouts for every level of planning

List, board, and timeline layouts with flexible grouping
Timeline view with week, month, and quarter zoom levels
Filter by lead, state, labels, and dates
AI that tracks the big picture before your team has to
Ask questions in natural language
Query any initiative or epic in plain language. Scope, blockers, completion, who owns what. Plane AI answers from live data.
Summarize progress across levels
AI reads work item states across every epic and initiative and generates a single progress summary. One click replaces the weekly status deck.
Small details that make epics and Initiatives easy to love
Designed to keep your team aligned, not buried in configuration.
Five initiative states
Drafts, Planned, Active, Completed, and Closed track every initiative through its full lifecycle.
No overlapping epics
Work items can belong to only one epic, so scope stays clean and ownership remains clear.
Threaded status updates
Post On Track, At Risk, or Off Track updates on any epic or initiative with threaded discussions and emoji reactions.
Configured like a Work item type
Set custom properties and hierarchies for epics like any other Work item type.
Progressive complexity
Turn on epics or Initiatives only when the team is ready. Complexity is a choice, never a prerequisite.
Switch Work item type when scope shifts
Change any work item from epic to another type when the scope changes.
Epics and Initiatives connect to everything downstream
Hierarchy is only useful when it touches execution. Every connected feature makes the structure more valuable.
