Customize JIRA for a hierarchical workflow model

What is the data model for an issue in JIRA for software projects? Is the hierarchy as follows - project->epics->stories->subtasks?

I want to create a Project management board with multiple stages . In this project, you can proceed to the next stage on only completing the earlier stages.

I wanted to create a 2-level hierarchy of workflows where the epics are in one workflow and the stories have their own workflow. Hence, there will be two boards

Is it possible to customize JIRA to allow this type of functionality?

The nice thing about JIRA boards is that they are simply views on issues. This means you can define what shows up on boards using JQL.

As an example, you could have a workflow for epics and then a board to show this workflow using a JQL that is something like this:

project = "myproject" and type = epic

Then you define a different workflow for your stories and show them on a different board using a JQL like this:

project = "myproject" and type = story

This means that even though the epics and stories both exist in the same project they can still be shown on different boards and with different workflows.
