Experience running the Dependency Mapping POTM?

Laurie Sciutti

Reaching out for input from anyone who has run the Dependency Mapping Play of the Month. I'd specifically like to hear from those who have a working CMDB that was used as the basis for the Play and anyone with experience in shutting down a company.

Did it help determine Target Start dates for shutting things down in a logical order?
Did you use Jira Plans in conjunction with the provided Play template and/or your CMDB? Any additional insight?

Thank you in advance!

Hi @Laurie Sciutti

I have not used the Atlassian approach of a "Dependency Mapping Play" nor have I experience with shutting down a company using the play, and...

I have performed dependency analysis for various program / project / development planning needs, and one thing I note is missing in the play that your situation seems to require is forecasting. The play describes a management plan but not the forecasting of the specific activities to produce things like target dates. Instead it seems to cover dates / cadences for plan management and not for plan execution. Thus additional work breakdown would likely be needed for your scenario.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Laurie Sciutti ,

I think, especially for escaping (or preparing) the headaches, the "Dependency Mapping Template" is really useful. I was already using a similar approach but in the play I found it useful to have that kind of a template.

Similar to that template, I usually have a Jira project for planning (but Jira plans also works) that contains the ups/downs similar to the template. It keeps all the things in order, at least for me.

I haven't used it directly, but I tried it in Plans (Advans Roadmap). The way I wanted it to work was the opposite. So I skip the idea.
