Task Hierarchy

There are 3 levels of hierarchy in Jira Management

  • Epics image-20241007-134859.png → Tasks image-20241007-134920.png → Subtasksimage-20241007-134931.png

Epics (highest): Overarching subsystem (ex. Chassis, Exteriors, Dynamics)

Tasks: Large Scale Goals of a subsystem (ex. Welding Jig, FSU, Canopy)

Subtasks: Steps towards achieving task goals (ex. CAD design, nodal, research)

Team leads should be responsible for populating and organizing the Jira board with tasks/subtasks and assigning responsible members to tasks. Members are responsible for updating their own Jira tickets.

Please update your task tickets regularly. It does not need much, just a quick sentence/ picture to show your progress, but it helps to keep communication clear across teams.
