How to make subtasks parallel 

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I am not sure what you mean by "parallel".  Issues can always be worked on by many people, or even teams.

A sub-task is a fragment of the parent issue, so Jira is saying the issue is logged at 20 weeks because that's what the work done on the parts of it add up to.

Time logs and estimates are not elapsed time, they are the amount of time spent on the issue.

hi Nic , 

Actually all the three subtasks are going in parallel and subtask 1 and subtasks2 have been logged for 8 weeks which is highest so we are expecting when we are checking the Feature1 Timetracker , it should show only 8 weeks since we are expecting this Feature1 to be completed in 8 weeks 

but In the Timetracker , the Feature1 is having "Include subtasks" timline as well and it is summing the time logged for all the three subtasks which is 20 Weeks , we are expecting the Feature1 to show only 8 weeks because all the subtasks are being done in parallel.

Is there any way to correct this ? 

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

No, because there is nothing to correct.

Time tracking is about estimating and reporting the time taken working on the issuea.  It does not look at elapsed time.  It does not matter that the tasks are being worked on sequentially or at the same time, it's measuring the time spent on them.

How to make subtasks parallel

You can work on sub-tasks in parallel, but the time is always accumulated (summed) in total.

[kshitij kulshreshtha]

We have a Feature 1 which is divided into many subtasks 

Feature 1 

-> Subtasks1 

-> Subtasks2

-> Subtasks3

These Subtasks needs to be run in parallel.

Subtasks1 : Log effort : 8Week

Subtasks2 : Log effort : 4Week

Subtasks3: Log effort : 8Week 

The total log effort for Feature1 should be 8Week since all the other subtasks are in parallel 

But right now tool is showing the total log effort for Feature1 : 8W + 4W + 8W = 20Week which is wrong
