View all of a work item's dependencies on your plan

This page refers to the advanced planning features that are only available as part of Jira Cloud Premium and Enterprise.

With the timeline section of your plan visible, select the dependency icon on either side of the schedule bar to show all of the dependencies attached to that work item. When your plan is set to show Badges, these icons are always visible on your timeline. If you have your plan set to show dependencies as Lines, they only show when you hover over the schedule bar.

Regardless of how you get there, selecting the icon will bring up a window. In it, you’ll find the following information:

  • Type - “is blocked by” denotes an incoming dependency while “blocks” denotes outgoing

  • Work item - Work item details of the dependent work item

  • Status

  • Assignee

  • Lead time - The number of days between the dependent work items

  • Filter by dependencies - Hides other work items on your timeline to highlight this dependent chain

You can also dependencies from the Summary tab on the left side navigation. Learn more about the Summary page.
