User Problem

Users consistently need help determining which Features (Jira Epics) satisfy their dependencies. Currently, there is no systemic way to link Features (Jira Epics) and Dependency objects within the platform. This lack of connection creates confusion, making it difficult for users to track and manage dependencies effectively.

Suggested Solutions

Implement a feature that allows users to link Features (Jira Epics) with Dependency objects directly within Jira Align. This link will let users quickly identify which Features (Jira Epics) satisfy a specific dependency.

This connection should be visible on:

• The Initiative: Show which Features (Jira Epics) are linked to which Dependencies.
• The Feature (Jira Epic): Indicate that delivering this epic satisfies a specific dependency.
• The Dependency: Display the associated Features (Jira Epics) and what needs to be delivered to mark the dependency as 'Done.'

Current Workarounds

Currently, there are no direct workarounds for linking Features (Jira Epics) with dependency objects. Users must manually track dependencies and their associated work items, which often leads to inefficiencies and potential errors.
