Themes are large focus areas that encompass multiple features or epics. They serve as broad categories that help organise and prioritise work at a high level. For instance, in an e-commerce website, a theme might be ‘User Experience,’ covering all aspects that enhance the user interface and interaction.
Themes provide a strategic overview and ensure that all related features or epics are aligned towards a common goal. They help maintain a cohesive vision and focus across different areas of the product, ensuring that all related activities contribute towards achieving the larger objectives.
