For a story, once QA Sub-task is completed, usually who (Dev or QA) should move the story to done?

-Story is ready for QA

-QA complete QA Sub-task and mark it done

-Story should be moved to done

It depends, if your issue is just putting it to "Done" once the Sub-tasks are completed, you could actually automate this with Automation:

But some don't as they like having a user accept/sign off/review before they mark the final story as Done.

This could be a Dev or I've even seen teams ask the designers. Typically I usually see the QA, Project Manager or Business Analyst do it though so that they're aware or happy the item can be closed off, especially if they have customers they ask to check or if they take the story past development (such as into production or customer review etc).

I normally see the dev do it in teams where the dev "owns" the story and is the main "go-to".

Thanks! @Calvin.Appreciate it.

Sub-tasks should be closed by the person who delivered/worked on it.

Usually subtasks doesnt require any review or approval.

Note that the efforts/time recorded on the task will be rolled-up to the parent.
