JIRA Dependencies tracking

Lakshmi Narasimhan

Hi,

I want to track dependencies for my release in JIRA,

1. I would like to know how to do this

2. I would like to know how to get a holistic view of all added dependencies

thanks

There really isn’t enough info here to offer assistance. Can you explain what you mean by tracking dependencies.

Lakshmi Narasimhan

1. A story is waiting on an external dependency like a vendor

2. A story needs info from a different team

3. A story can be built only when another story is built

so how to link a story to dependencies.. and how to see all the linked dependencies at one place

Jack Brickey

I would suggest two methods here:
1. add a status to the workflow, e.g. "Hold" or "Waiting 3rd-party". in this scenario whoever is accountable w/in the team to 'manage' the vendor should be assigned the issue.
2. create a sub-task to the issue for getting closure w/ vendor and assign the proper person.
I would treat this the same as #1. they are simply an internal 3rd-party.
Link the two stories. One will be "blocks" the other "is blocked by"

using the above you can then create reports (filters) and add to dashboard to show "blocked" issues.

I totally agree with this approach.

One small thing: how about using the flag to flag out items that are blocked (instead of adding a status)? These can be filtered and displayed in a project management dashboard, for example.

Jack Brickey

Certainly a reasonable approach. I really haven’t used flagging much. The last time I looked I recall liking it but just haven’t fit it into my processes formally. The one caveat I would make here is if you have one issue blocking another I would certainly use the blocks link method. Note if you wanted to use a Kansan or scrum board the advantage of a status is you could have an “On Hold” column and map the status there making it very apparent.
