Negative Lag

[Deleted user]

Is there a filter i can create to show all issues that have negative lag? i can see the data in the Advanced Roadmap when i hover over the Gantt bar but i need to report on the negative lag issues so that they can be discussed with the team and rectified where needed

Hi @[deleted] 

I do not believe this is possible with out of the box Jira.  You would need to iteratively compare the Start Date and Due Date for multiple issues, which is not something basic JQL can do.  You may be able to do this with one of the marketplace scripting add-ons.  But if you are going to get an add-on, you may want to investigate some of the actual dependency management tools.

And, basic roadmaps does not appear to have reporting of dependencies; just the image in the roadmap itself.  Advanced roadmaps (premium license) does have a dependency report, however it also appears to be graphical rather than a list of predecesors and successors.

As a work-around, you probably could build your own in spreadsheet scripting for an exported set of issues, or just export/import into a project management tool to report the dependencies.

Best regards,
