How can I effectively manage and track dependencies between tasks in Jira Cloud to ensure smooth pro

[sarmad]

In my current project management workflow using Jira Cloud, I've encountered challenges with tracking and managing dependencies between tasks effectively. Despite configuring dependencies within tasks, I often find it difficult to maintain visibility and ensure that tasks progress smoothly without delays. I'm seeking advice on best practices or features within Jira Cloud that can help streamline dependency management, ensuring efficient project execution and timely delivery. Any insights or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @sarmad , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your question!

Please can I ask, which Jira product are you using? In the Jira business projects (formerly Jira Work Management), there is a view like this one called, 'Timeline', where you can see different issues in a Gantt-type view on a calendar and the links and dependencies between the issues -

For more advanced functionality, of course there are lots of apps, either to integrate with other tools like Microsoft Project or to bring the gantt / planning type processes into Jira. BigPicture and Structure are popular choices for this. Here is what comes up in the Atlassian Marketplace when you search for project management apps - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=project%20management 

I hope this helps but if you have some more specific questions, please just reply to this comment.

Cheers
