True or False: Epics are estimated in story points rolled up from feature estimates.

In the context of SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), epics are large bodies of work that can be broken down into smaller features and user stories. They represent significant initiatives that need to be aligned with business objectives. When estimating the effort required for epics, it is common practice to roll up estimates from features and corresponding user stories, which are measured in story points.

This rolling up of estimates allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the effort involved in delivering larger initiatives. Features, which are derived from epics, can be estimated in story points based on the smaller, more manageable units of work within them (user stories). Consequently, when you aggregate these estimates from features that originate from the epic, it provides an accurate estimation of the epic's overall effort.

Estimating epics in this manner helps product owners and managers prioritize work, allocate resources effectively, and plan for release timelines based on a clear understanding of the work involved. Therefore, affirming that epics are indeed estimated in story points rolled up from feature estimates is consistent with the SAFe methodology and its practices surrounding estimation and prioritization.
