Issue Summary

The texts "Key metrics" and "Related work" have an inappropriate heading structure.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the Jira Cloud home page.
2. Select any Scrum project and navigate to Space navigation.
3. Navigate to the "Development" tab and activate it.
4. Navigate through the page using the down arrow (JAWS/NVDA) and VO+Left arrow/Right arrow (VoiceOver).
5. Observe that the mentioned headings have incorrect heading markup as per visual hierarchy.

Screenshot

Actual Results

The heading structure is found to be inappropriate on the page. The text such as "Key metrics" and "Related work" is coded as <h4> instead of <h3>, which does not match the visual hierarchy on the page.

As a result, screen reader users found it difficult to understand the page's content structure.

Expected Results

The heading levels should be announced as per the visual hierarchy by screen reader to understand the page structure for their users. Use heading levels as per specification such as <h1> should be followed by <h2>, <h3> and so on.

In this scenario, mark the texts "Key metrics" and "Related work" as level 3 headings.

Code Snippet:

<h3 class="...">Key metrics</h3> 
...
<h3 class="...">Related work</h3>
