I’m a product manager intern stepping in for a PM that went on maternity leave, so I really own a product lol. (Cheap labor, I know lol.) I’m struggling to create tickets and get my epics built out and get work cued up. As the tool is going through a backend re-arch changing APIs and stuff. My background is mechanical engineering and HW development… so endpoints, databases, etc. all of this is pretty new. Any resources or suggestions that you guys can point me to?

What tool are you using? JIRA?

Jira. But that’s not the issue. It’s understand the work required for the re-arch
