Use this interactive demo to learn how to mark a subtask as done in Jira.

Quick summary

This demo shows you how to close a subtask in Jira by updating its status to Done directly from the parent ticket's Subtasks section. Completing this in Jira keeps your project board accurate and ensures subtask progress is correctly tracked.


Steps

  1. In your Jira space, find and select the ticket that contains the subtask you wish to close.
  2. Under the Subtasks section, find the subtask you want to close and tap the Status menu next to it.
  3. Select Done from the list of status options.
  4. The selected subtask in your Jira space will now be closed.

📌 Why this matters

Closing subtasks in Jira is essential for keeping agile project boards accurate and sprint progress up to date. When team members correctly mark subtasks as Done, project leads get a real-time view of task completion without manual follow-ups. Jira's subtask status workflow ensures that parent issues reflect true progress, reducing bottlenecks and improving team accountability. This makes subtask management a critical habit for any team using Jira for software development or project tracking.
