Question 1
BeginnerWorking with Work Items · Sub-tasks and Parent-Child Relationships
As a Scrum Master configuring a new company-managed project, you notice that team members are creating standard 'Task' issue types to represent granular technical steps for a 'Story', rather than using sub-tasks. Which statement accurately describes the hierarchical restriction of sub-tasks in Jira that makes them structurally different from standard Tasks?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
In Jira's hierarchy, sub-tasks are strictly child issues that must be associated with a standard parent issue (like a Story, Bug, or Task). They cannot exist as standalone items in a backlog, whereas standard Tasks can.
