For example at YME for Yamaha Motor Portfolio Board (YPB) issue type 
Strategic Theme and 
Initiative have been created by a Jira Administrator and for XRAY (test management tool) add-on the following issue types are created: 
Test, 
Test execution ,
Test Plan, 
Test Set.
YME Jira

Hierarchy Anchor YMEHIERARCHY YMEHIERARCHY
| YMEHIERARCHY | |
| YMEHIERARCHY |
The Hierarchy for Plans, project items are grouped into hierarchy levels based on Issue Types.
For YME Jira the following Hierarchy has been setup:
Level 1-3 is used for Portfolio planning:
Level 1: Capability (YNSEU)
Level 2: Programme (YPM) , Strategic Theme (YPB), Milestone (YNSEU),
Level 3: Initiative (YPB) , Feature (YNSEU), Project (YPM)
All others levels are used in Jira Software projects.
Story level = Story, Enable Story, Task, Spike, Bug, Defect and for Jira Service Management Incident, Service request, Service request with approvals etc.
Hierarchy linking is done through epic link or parent link. You cannot skip a level so
...
an epic must always be linked to a Initiative, Feature or a Project.
Workflow
A Jira Workflow has three basic components: statuses, transitions and resolutions.
...
Example for Project Yamaha Applications Support Desk (SD): 
By hovering over the arrows and To view the the workflow the transition select View workflow in the Issue status menu
Mouse over the transitions of this specific status is shown which via View Workflow which status transition can be chosen as next/previous step.
Another example of a more simplified Jira Service Management Workflow:
A Jira issue can be moved by using a specific transaction button or if not available via the Issue status menu.
When using a Board an issue can be transitioned to another workflow status by dragging and dropping the issue from one column to another.
...
If you've added sub-tasks to an issue, and need to reorder them, you can drag and drop them on the issue navigator view of the parent issue. If you're using a board in Jira Software, you can also reorder the sub-tasks on the board view. However, these two methods are independent of each other. Reordering sub-tasks on the parent issue will not reorder tasks on an existing board, and vice-versa.
Issue links
Epic and Parent link
All issue types on Story level Jira Projects issues and Confluence pages can be linked to a specific Jira issue. These links can be found in a Jira issue under section Issue Links
Confluence links to a Jira issue can be found under Section Issue Links - Mentioned in
Example:
Subtasks are automatically linked to the original ticket.
In the original ticket you can see all linked sub-Tasks
Create manually a new issue link to Jira issue or Confluence or Weblink
To create a new manual link open the issue you wish to link to another issue.
Please note that that this manual action is only needed for issues that did not follow the correct workflow or if it need to be linked to a different or parent/child issue as well.
Confluence pages can directly be linked to a Jira ticket. Instructions can be found on the following page: How-to use links and anchors (bookmarks) in Confluence.
...
directly to an Epic, Epic Link is used for this.
Story level = Story, Enable Story, Task, Spike, Bug, Defect and for Jira Service Management: Incident, Service request, Service request with approvals etc.
All issues above an Epic level can have a Parent link, see for more information: YME Jira Hierarchy
Via de Edit button you can add the epic or parent link.
If an issue is related to an higher hierarchy issue type Epic or Parent link should be used.
If you have to link multiple epics or higher hierarchy issue types in one issue, then use one main Epic/ Parent link and for the others use Issue links.
Issue links
Jira Projects issues and Confluence pages can be linked to a specific Jira issue. This can also be used if you want to link multiple epics or parent issues.
These links can be found in a Jira issue under section Issue Links
Confluence links to a Jira issue can be found under Section Issue Links - Mentioned in
Example:
Subtasks are automatically linked to the original ticket.
In the original ticket you can see all linked sub-Tasks
Create manually a new issue link to Jira issue or Confluence or Weblink
To create a new manual link open the issue you wish to link to another issue.
Please note that that this manual action is only needed for issues that did not follow the correct workflow or if it need to be linked to a different or parent/child issue as well.

Two features that were developed to aid in the easy viewing of issues:
Progress bars - these allow a simple “game-ified” visual way to view the progress of individual issues.
