We're updating our terminology in Jira

'Issue' is changing to 'work item'. You might notice some inconsistencies while this big change takes place.

Show or hide dependencies on your timeline

Unless otherwise noted, the project timeline view is the same for both company-managed and team-managed projects.

 

Dependencies, also called Work item links in other parts of Jira, allow you to show the order in which work items need to be done. If there’s a dependency between two work items, one must be finished before the next can begin.

In order to use this feature, a Jira admin needs to enable work item linking. The timeline can only show work items with the Blocks work item link type and link work items from a single project. Learn how to enable work item linking.

 

To show or hide dependencies on your timeline:

  1. From your timeline, navigate to the View settings menu at the top-right of your view.

  2. Under the Visual details heading, enable Dependencies.
