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.

Furthermore the amazing hierarchical tree view in Links Hierarchy 3, full interactive network graphs are supported in the 4.0 version:

The JQL query only gives you linked issues for a particular issue NOT for a project.

+1. With the standard linkedIssues("ABC-XXXX") JIRA JQL function you cannot explore hierarchies, only one level and only for one issue.

Hi!

There is a new cloud app (Link Graph) for viewing all issue dependencies (inside issue view page), and you can filter by project. There are other filters too

Hello all, 

You can use Impact for JIRA plugin (http://bit.ly/1tYPzxu) which allows to display issue dependencies and issue links.

Use the JQL issue in linkedIssues("ABC-XXXX")

is there an option for ondemand? or at least a means of writing a custom filter?

Is it a substitute for Link Hirerachy report?

[Kinto Soft]

Yes, Links Hierarchy is an alternative to the Links Hierarchy Reports for JIRA 5+.
