  • 1.  Portfolio Item Timeline App with Dependencies

    Posted Jul 29, 2019 04:37 PM
    Is anyone aware of an app that is similar to the Portfolio Item Timeline that also shows dependencies (i.e., a gantt chart)? I've seen this question posted before, but it has been a few years. So I wasn't sure if anyone has found anything since.

    My team follows a version of SAFe, and for PI planning, we currently use Visio diagrams to represent the features' timelines and dependencies. However, creating the initial diagrams and then maintaining them is very time-consuming and cumbersome. So ideally, we'd like to be able use CA Agile instead.

    Note: we use milestone timeboxes to represent PIs.

    Hello Kyle,

    If did have anything it would listed on the Github repository.  

    I did find the following app that was created:

    https://github.com/RallyTechServices/rally-pi-timeline-with-dependencies

    This app is as-is and not supported but I would recommend taking a look at it. 

    Thank you,

    Christian

    Hi Christian,

    Thanks for the info.

    Unfortunately, when I paste that app's code into a Custom HTML app, nothing happens (maybe because it's a 2.0 app?).

    Below are the 3 repositories I've been able to find. Are you aware of any others I could look through?

    Thanks,

    Kyle

    Hi Kyle,
    One of my peers wrote a timeline app that shows dependencies as well as other things (using the settings)....  Check it out here:

    https://github.com/nikantonelli/PortfolioItemTimeLine/tree/Strings-board

    Let me know if you need help with the settings.  (gear---> Edit App Settings) There are some nuances to be aware of.
