View/App/Report to find dependency conflicts

[William Antjoule]

Hi All,

I have a large project that spans multiple teams and the features have been define with est start/end dates/target release as we as dependencies on other features.

I'm wondering what View/App/Report there are to find dependency conflicts. I want to be able to identify that a feature scheduled for a earlier release that is dependent on a feature in a later release.

Hi Willa,

Checking with the team on this to see if they know of anything!

Hi Willa.

One suggestion is the Release Tracking feature: https://docs.ca.com/en-us/ca-agile-central/saas/release-tracking-beta

Another suggestion is the following community app: https://github.com/RallyTechServices/rally-pi-timeline-with-dependencies. Take a look at this video for a walkthrough on adding community apps: https://community.broadcom.com/enterprisesoftware/viewdocument/howto-adding-community-apps-to-a?CommunityKey=f303f769-8d4c-44d9-924c-3845bba6444e&tab=librarydocuments

Hi David, 

Thank you for the rapid reply and great options. The Release tracking report is helpful, but i love the Timeline with dependencies option.

When i go to grab the complied version in the  deploy folder on GitHub and add it to an HTML app the page app does not load, its just a blank white page, any ideas?

I do see teh following in the Console in Chrome Dev tools

DevTools failed to parse SourceMap: https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/js/alm/builds/bower/when/3.7.7/es6-shim/Promise.min.js.map

I had tech service built this app for us last year; you can configure it for Portfolio level or user story : https://github.com/RallyTechServices/story-dependency-schedule

It will show if a feature is scheduled for one release but its dependencies are mis-aligned.

Hi Willa,

I know this is a little while after you originally posted this, but I don't come into this community as often as I should.

If you are after a visual representation of the dependencies and whether they have scheduling conflicts, you may want to look at this app I have just finished:

https://github.com/nikantonelli/PortfolioItemTimeLine/tree/With-Stories

It has a huge number of options so that you can see:
1. One portfolio item and all its descendants,
1a. An item and its descendants with scheduling errors (text goes red),
2. All portfolio items of a particular type,
3. Iteration and Release timeboxes against a timeline of your selected items
4. All the dependencies for the items selected
4a. All out-of-sequence dependencies go red
5. Rescale of timeline to an item (if you click on the text)
6. Rescale of timeline to a timebox (click on text of release or iteration)
7. Rescale of timeline to the range from first start date to last end date of items selected
8. Click on item bar icon (suitcase) to go to FDP or QDP
