Business Need:

Dependency management view is not giving very good insights. 

• Very limited filter options.  Missing filters such as a view of current or next sprint (blocked or blocking in current or next sprint). 
• No counts (ex: total number of dependent issues; total number of dependent issues by dependent team – similar to the heatmap view we created for the Portfolio areas to count # of Sub-Initiatives; etc). 
• Grouping by team helps a little bit. The navigation is pretty horrible (can’t scroll up or down as scrolling zooms). 
• What do the colors mean for the lines?  Would be nice if there was a way to commit to a request dependency date OR based on sprint boundaries and then visually see if that dependency will be met or not.

Value Statement:

As a Product Owner, I want to view the dependencies between issues (both internal and external) by each sprint, release or project so that I can identify the blockers, prioritize issues accordingly and plan for sprints, releases and PI efficiently.

Acceptance Criteria:

Ability to filter dependencies by sprint, release or PI

Ability to view dependencies map/links within the roadmap view

Ability to view issues by sprint or release and then turn on dependencies view to highlight only the dependent and required issues.

Ability to control and assign the required item first prior to dependent item
