How do I set up a Start-to-Start Dependency in Advanced Road Maps? Using Jira Cloud Based.

Hi @Jeanne Higgins 

You cannot have that constraint on the issues based on Start-to-start dependencies. The way Advanced Roadmap dependencies work is Finish-to-Start where issues will be planned/started only when the predecessors have finished.

However you are free to plan the issues the way you want. Advanced Roadmap will suggest a schedule for you but you can always change it - for instance plan the issues in the same sprint and rank them together. The plan might give you warnings but you can ignore them.

..and you can configure dependent issues to be schedule concurrently instead of sequentially, but this will impact the whole plan.

What if you really are not using sprints?

How do you do "and you can configure dependent issues to be schedule concurrently instead of sequentially, but this will impact the whole plan" This?
