Hi
SAFe hast the Concepts of Portfolio / Solution and Program EPICs.
https://www.scaledagileframework.com/safe-requirements-model/ and here https://www.scaledagileframework.com/program-and-solution-kanbans/
Does or is there a plan to support Solution and Program EPICs?
Cheers Ralph

Hello, We make use of program epics in our portfolio. Formerly we were using Advanced Roadmap Plugin, to be eble to use program epics. Recently we started to use Hive. And we migrated our program epics as capabilities even if we have a single train. What are your plans to sort our this need.

To sell it a bit more.
Program EPICs allow you to "cluster" Features that do not have a Portfolio EPIC (which ist often the case).
SAFe calls that local concern.
Shouldnt be a big thing to implement as everything is already there

It would be helpful and more correct to have the ability to link in some cases Features to Epics as well as in other cases have Features linked to Capabilities and they linked to Epics in Large Solution scenarios. Having the need to always include a Capability in between Feature and Epic lays to much focus on the hierarchy in such Full SAFe configurations. We are scaling bottom-up most of the time due to large and complex topics and are not steering top-down, hopefully.
