Constrained by a workflow that has these phases: Awaiting Analysis, Analysis, Backlog, In Development, etc.
Team is new to using Jira for agile software development so we haven't figured out all the tricks and tips for incorporating it into our WOW. If our general process is for a BA to hand off an analysis task/issue to a senior dev to review and approve before it goes into the development phase, should we just use the Backlog phase as the holding bucket for that handoff and have the BA assign the senior dev to do the review? Or, do we keep the task in Analysis phase and assign while it's there, letting the dev move it to Backlog if accepted or keeping it in Analysis for further work? How do we account for the estimated points for review? How do we handle work that is ready for dev review on the last day of the sprint?
Should we be using subtasks for the analysis and review so the parent task isn't complete until those separate subs are done?
