Product themes

Group related stories to align work with strategic goals, track long term progress, and ensure deliverables support your organization's priorities.

Product themes allow you to group related stories under a single theme, making it easier to navigate between them, perform group operations (like adding them to timebox), and measure your overall investment mix.

The Product themes page gives you a complete view of all the product themes in your workspace. From here, you can create, edit, and delete product themes, as well as view the stories included in each theme to assess their progress.
