Inbound Outbound arrows missing for dependencies on Program Board - Jira Align

Summary

Users may wonder why the inbound and outbound arrows do not appear on all dependency work items when viewing the Program Board in Jira Align

Solution

The inbound and outbound arrows appear only on dependencies tied to teams working in different programs. If the dependency work is created between different teams within the same program, the arrow icons will not display on the Program Board.
