Depends on

[Kushal Satrasala]

The is the actual linkage type (outward and inward) in Jira.

Question is Please help confirm the arrow is configured correct or not for "Depends on" Or it should be opposite.

Hi @Kushal Satrasala,

If A depends on B, then that means B must be completed before A can be started. So that should be the other way around compared to what is in your first screenshot:

If A depends on B, then B is scheduled before A.

Hope this helps!

Hello Walter - please check and confirm if there is issue with arrows? in this case?

[Walter Buggenhout]

All the arrow is telling you, @Kushal Satrasala is that you have created a link that started from TBLP-1181 depends on TBLP-1180. The direction of the arrow is correct semantically. Because yes, you need the ingredients before you can mix them. When it comes to the order in which things need to happen, that's something else. But you have removed a screenshot from your question that may explain what is happening here - it said that for a depends on link, the first issue must be completed before the second. That should be opposite.

On a side note, I am honestly not sure why you haven't used a blocks link from Gather the ingredients to Mix the ingredients (as you have done for bake the cookies) in this example. By adding different link types for the same thing in your scheduling, you make things unnecessarily complex and people won't know what link type they should choose.
