I am have parent user stories that are each mapped to one feature. I am then creating child user stories within the parent user stories. In this example, let’s say that for my highest-ranked backlog user story, I create 2 children. Before the children were created, I could see this parent user story as the top line item in the “BACKLOG” page. After the children are created, I see that the parent user story line item in BACKLOG has been replaced with the first child user story that I created (which is expected), but THEN I see that the remaining children stories do not get brought up to the top (where the parent originally was). Instead, they get dumped to the very end of the entire project backlog.
What I worry about is that if I have the Product Owners stack rank user stories that are then broken into many children stories, that the original ranking will get lost in this manner.
