    Hello
    To track the full hierarchy in Azure DevOps (EPIC > FEATURE > USER STORY > TASK), use the Tree of Work Items query type. Configure the query to start at EPIC and include all child relationships using "Matches hierarchy." While the default query view may only show two levels at a time, you can expand results in the Query Results view or export them for deeper analysis. For advanced visualization, maybe you can use tools like Power BI or ADO Delivery Plans.
    Hope it helps!
