So in Agile you (can) use stories/epics/initiatives/themes as described 
at 
https://www.atlassian.com/agile/project-management/epics-stories-themes 
. Would you call a goal an initiative or more like a specific flavor of 
an epic? Does Wikimedia use the "Theme" concept?

[Joel Aufrecht]

Disclaimer: this is a description of what I have used them, not an
authoritative statement about how they should be used, nor a report on the
norms for the entire userbase for this Phabricator instance.

#epic identifies Phabricator tasks that comprise multiple other Phabricator
tasks.  They could be very large pieces of work, which have been decomposed
into many tasks via Child Tasks.  Or they could be 'tracking' tasks,
holding a list of lots of other tasks, either through parentage or lists in
the description or both.

#goal identifies a Phabricator task that does not represent work to be done
or a bug to be resolved, but instead is part of a project tracking system.

So #epic is a fairly common project management tem used in Wikimedia Phab
in its usual sense, and #goal has no set meaning other than what it means
to the people involved in teaching that task.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Difference between #goal and #epic

[Daniel Zahn]

#goal means a team has picked it as one of their goals to finish it in this
or an upcoming quarter
and #epic just means it is the opposite of trivial.. as in "takes really
long / is complex / involves many people".
