The three roles in Scrum are:

Scrum originated in the software development industry. Today, however, it is the most widely adopted framework transcending sectors and industries. It is now used in retail, manufacturing, finance, aerospace, healthcare, entertainment and more.

An epic, as the name suggests, is a big body of work that is split into smaller chunks to make it easier to reach milestones and work. These small chunks are called sprints. Epics can be spread over sprints or even teams and often represent a high-level view of client requirements. Scope of epics can change over time and their main use is to break down work and create hierarchies of roles and responsibilities.
