# Jira - Asana: Subtasks Synchronization

Making sure your tasks and subtasks play well between Jira and Asana is vital for smooth teamwork. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process, making it easy to map, configure, and sync tasks and subtasks seamlessly.

### **Mapping Tasks and Subtasks:**

1. **Task and Subtask Mapping:**
   * Ensure tasks and subtasks are appropriately mapped between Jira and Asana. Match their counterparts in both tools for effective synchronization.
2. **Enable the Synchronization:**
   * Click on the subtasks mapping, navigate to the hierarchy section, and select "Synchronize Subtasks relationship."
   * Enable the synchronization for the Subtasks relationships.
   * Configure subtask relationships in the dropdown menu. Decide if they should sync with their counterpart or get linked to a specific parent task by providing its ID.
   * Click "Apply" and "Save" to apply the changes to the integration.

1. **Initiating Sync for Subtasks:**
   * By configuring the settings, any new subtasks will be automatically synchronized with their parent tasks on Jira and Asana.
2. **Handling Existing Items:**
   * If the subtasks were created before this synchronization, it will be necessary to perform a migration to ensure that the older subtasks are migrated. Follow the necessary migration steps to create the relevant link.

**Conclusion:** Synchronizing tasks and subtasks in the Jira<>Asana integration improves collaboration and ensures consistent project management. By mapping, configuring relationships, and enabling synchronization, you create a seamless workflow between the two platforms.
