Can I visualize issue dependencies?
Is there a way to visualize Jira issue dependencies when the issues do not have defined start/end dates/times?
The plan view in Jira is mostly for project management. It has a gnatt chart which shows you timeline view of your tasks. So you can say when tasks start/end and it will visualize that on a gnatt chart.
This type of view is great for project management planning where it is well known when tasks are expected to be completed by.
But say you have tasks that don't have dictated start/end dates and they only have dependency:
- Tasks: A, B, C, D, and E
- B can't start till A is done
- C can't start till B is done
- D can't start till A is done
- E can't start till C and D are done
With that information in each of the Jira issues for A, B, C, and D, how can I generate a visualization like this:

You can't have that visualization with the built-in features, but there are several apps that provide it in some flavor.
The Issue Link Viewer app, for example, does it like this:

I may be wrong, but the Dependencies report in Advanced Roadmaps will show you dependencies even when they are not timeline based (note the examples in the attachment have dates referenced, though). I also think the Gantt chart itself will show dependencies, either via icon or lines, if you put in ANY sort of date (even one day after another, just to get something visual going). Just a thought to consider...
Assuming you have access to Advanced Roadmaps, it's just an option ("Dependencies report") in the dropdown next to the name of the Plan:
