Question 3: In Jira, what is a 'label' and how does it differ from a 'component'?
- Labels are project-scoped and managed by admins; components are user-defined tags
- Labels are free-form tags that can be shared across projects; components are project-specific categories managed by admins (Correct answer)
- Labels assign issues to sprints; components assign issues to epics
- Labels and components are identical features with different names
Correct answer: Labels are free-form tags that can be shared across projects; components are project-specific categories managed by admins
Labels are free-form, user-created tags that can be reused across multiple projects, while Components are predefined, admin-managed categories scoped to a single project.

Deleting a parent issue in Jira also deletes all of its subtasks, as they cannot exist without a parent.
