I've done quite a bit of homework on this, but am still confused and would really like advisement.

We have a bunch of user stories sitting in our release backlog. During a sprint planning session, we move select user stories from the release backlog into a sprint backlog (using the Iterations view of our Release Backlog plan).

At that point, we create a bunch of child tasks for accomplishing the user story, those tasks are then assigned to individuals and we get a feel for the load across the team.

Does this sound like intended workflow so far?

During daily scrums, we rely on the taskboard view and update progress on various tasks. The problem is, the subtasks for the user stories appear on the board twice. They appear in the section of the board that groups all of the tasks assigned to an individual (which makes sense), but they also appear (grayed out) next to the user story.

This seems awkward. What happens is we have a scrumboard that is much larger than necessary. I don't see why the child tasks are reiterated. I understand why the story would appear in the far left column (so that tasks are grouped in horizontal swimlanes), but I don't understand why the sub-tasks are reiterated.

Is there a setting I can alter? If needed, I can annotate a picture and post.
