How to track dependencies in Jira ( Linked issues)

Siddarth Gaonkar

We are using Jira across our organisation across multiple interdependant teams(projects). Each project has dependencies on the other. we are planning to line the dependant issues. however, i would like a holistic view of all the dependencies on my project and a view for all the dependencies my project has.

The Links Hierachy plug-in may help you:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/1211022

as it provides several built-in JQL functions for hierarchies of linked issues plus

So you can:

1. create a query fetching all the issues in a project. Ex:

project = 'TEST'

2. Pass the query id above (1) as parameter to the Links Hierarchy JQL function to get all the issues linked to your project on the Issue Navigator (advanced view). Ex:

linksHierarchyFilter("10001", 0)

3. Combine the JQL above (2) with other standard JQL . Ex:

linksHierarchyFilter("10001", 0) AND project != 'TEST'

The query above (3) would return all the cross linked project isssues only. So you could easily see what other projects impact on (link to) the TEST project.

Moreover, Links Hierarchy draws the results in a nice interactive HTML 5 tree fully synchronized with the Issue navigator, so you can see the chain of links (path) from the issue to the project TEST for each cross project linked issues.

Hope it helps.
