Creating a simple Agile workflow

Question

The below is a very simple and basic Agile workflow we are trying to create, but could not achieve this in JIRA Agile. Can anyone point me a video or a link that allows us to do this end-to-end?

Release

+-------- Sprint(s)

-----------+-------- Stories

----------------------+-------- Tasks

---------------------------------+-------- Sub-Tasks

In the above the only thing that is missing is Epic, but since we can have Epics spread across a Release or Sprints I have not shown it above. But we still want a way to filter the stories by Epics, Release, and Sprint.

Apart from this we are looking for the basic burn-down chart that shows our progress at Release and Sprint level.

Can anyone help on this?

I found the reason for points 1 & 2.

For 1. Though I have added a new column, I did not map the statuses - ref: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AGILE/Tutorial+-+Adding+a+Column+to+a+Board

I for some reason feel this is uncomfortable. I have added QA ready as my task but don't have an appropriate mapping in the system and had to choose something like resolved but not closed

For 2. The filters had an issue

But now, I am still not done... I need some help on the getting the Burn down chart up... the estimation vs tracking are little dicey, and its not entirely clear with the documentation here https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AGILE/Configuring+Estimation+and+Tracking.

My query is how do I really see the burn down.

For example: I have a story

* ADMIN-111 - Create a Login Page  (3 points)

It has 5 tasks as below:

* ADMIN-112 - Create a Spring framework for login (30h)
* ADMIN-113 - Create a prototype  (3d)
* ADMIN-114 - Do the actual coding  (12h)
* ADMIN-115 - QA tasks  (42h)
* ADMIN-116 - Build scripts  (12h)

* So what is the use of "Time Tracking" information in each of their JIRA page?
* What is the use of Edit > "Remaining Estimate" value?
* What is the use of Story number?
* Which of the value increased or reduced will get me the burn-down chart?

Hi Peter, Thanks for your answers. I tried to create a scrum board, and experimenting by adding existing stories and so on with the information you had provided.

* I have a new column "QA ready" added in the Configure > Column Management, but this does not appear in the Sprint that I created on the Scrum Board > Work. What could be the issue?
* In the Scrum Board > Sprint. I could only see the stories that I have created either in To Do or In Progress, but I could not see the sub-tasks that are associated with it. I have indeed added the swinlane though I have done the below:
