This is the optional Visio version of the Theme / Epic Structure (see Theme / Epic Structure (Excel)) to provide ease of working with "drag and drop" objects to update the document.

A Theme is a collection of user stories. A Scrum epic is a large user story.

Collections of User Stories such as grouping of development work that logically goes together within a Sprint or Release (e.g. Collections of User Stories that affect the GUI design, database design, or implement core business logic or process).

As opposed to the Excel version, you may drag-and-drop the various objects to restructure the diagram to define a specific theme or epic.

Note the title (in braces) of the artifact. Revise the title to specify whether theme or epic and the name of the theme or epic this illustration identifies.

If you are identifying only an Epic, then delete the objects entitled “Theme,“ and delete the objects associated with the second occurrence of “Epic Name.“
