SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Discovers and formalizes dependencies between issues to establish a clear work order.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discover related work by keyword and description to surface potential dependencies.
  • Link blockers and dependent issues using explicit relationships to enforce proper sequencing.
  • Visualize and verify dependency graphs to identify cycles and bottlenecks.

Quick Start

Run a discovery pass to identify potential dependencies among issues and begin linking blockers to establish correct work order.

FAQPage Schema
How do I map issue dependencies across a large backlog?

Mapping issue dependencies involves scanning large backlogs to identify potential ties in descriptions, linking blockers to enforce execution order, and visualizing the resulting dependency graph to verify sequencing.

What is the best way to find circular dependencies in a backlog?

Finding circular dependencies requires visualizing and verifying the dependency graph. This process identifies cycles and bottlenecks by checking the explicit blocker links established between related issues.

Can I automatically link blockers between issues across different teams?

Yes, you can link blockers across teams. The system scans descriptions to discover related work and suggests explicit relationships to enforce proper sequencing across large backlogs.

How do I visualize a dependency graph to identify work order bottlenecks?

Visualizing a dependency graph to identify bottlenecks uses specific visualization commands. These commands verify the dependency links and surface execution cycles within your established backlog.

Does dependency discovery work on existing issue descriptions without manual tagging?

Dependency discovery works directly on existing issue descriptions without manual tagging. It scans text for potential ties and keywords to surface related work and suggest formal links.
