Great idea! That's perfect, should have thought of that since there's not much value to assigning parent tasks to the team. That'll get me going for now, thanks!
The new iteration story board is terrible. They arbitrarily decided to group tasks by those that had a parent task and stuffed all the other "orphaned" tasks at the bottom of the page. Now all the backlog grooming and prioritization of tasks that we did comes to nothing when we try to pull tasks off...
