Introduction to Sub-Tasks
Subtasks are child of another issue, they are created to easily manage other issues like stories, tasks or bugs.
Subtasks are technical in nature as they are created for the people working under a particular task.
For example, let’s assume that we have a task:
<Coding for Wishlist button on main page>
Now a few examples of the sub-tasks associated with this task could be:
- 1. Create a Wishlist Button on main-page.
- 2. Coding required to link the button with functionality.
Once created, these sub-tasks are assigned to team members to get them done.
