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. 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.
