You can [create Jira tasks](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2211874895) in BigPicture and [add the existing ones to a box scope](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2212234383).

Connecting a Jira project to BigPicture automatically imports and syncs your existing Jira issues, including Epics, Stories, Tasks, and Bugs. Updates made in Jira—such as status changes or due date updates —are reflected in BigPicture and otherwise.

Once imported or created, you can manage Jira tasks through various modules:

## Scope module

- Displays issues in a hierarchical structure (for example, Epic → Story → Sub-task).
- Enables you to group, filter, and reorganize tasks for improved visibility.
- Allows adding custom hierarchy levels (for example, Initiative → Epic → Story).
