Info

This report type is available with BigPicture Enterprise only.

The Dependencies report gives you a quick overview of existing dependencies in your projects.Image Removed

...

The Dependencies report is in the form of a matrix and presents the names of projects or iterations that:

  • are assigned to a given program or project

  • have at least one incoming or outgoing dependency (note - both dependency tasks must be open).

...

The intersection of the rows and columns of the matrix shows the number of dependencies between projects and their iterations from lower levels (PI Iterations, Sprints, etc.).

...

If there are no dependencies between projects/iterations, the report will present "No data."

Info

Contrary to the Cross-team dependencies report:

  • This report does not display parent-child dependencies.

  • The report also displays dependencies inside a project or iteration (in the fields on the diagonal of the matrix).

When you click on the report field, Image Removed

...

you will see detailed information about each dependency (divided into projects or iterations between which they occur).Image Removed

...

The report presents soft dependencies (marked as S) or strong dependencies (marked as SE, EE, ES, SS).

The digits between iterations indicate the number of dependencies.Image Removed

Report configuration

Name

In the report configuration, you can rename your report. Image Removed

Hide/show same Box dependencies

Cross-Team dependencies report can show dependencies on the diagonal (only Soft/Hard links, does not show Child-Parent relationships within the same team).

This functionality is disabled by default. It can be turned on / off in the report configuration panel (the "Hide dependencies for the same team" checkbox is selected by default).Image Removed

...

Diagonal cells on the matrix won't contain any information (the information is hidden).Image Removed

...

Otherwise, those cells contain information on dependencies within a single Box. Image Removed

...

Multi-level Box structure

Image Removed

...

When you create a report in the main program Box, the matrix is based on Program Increments (direct lower level). Under Program Increments, Iterations are nested. 

When you don't hide the dependencies:Image Removed

...


You can see all dependencies within a Program Increment, including the Iterations it contains. Image Removed

...

Export

Info

BigTemplate addon is required.

You can export information of a given cell into .xlsx.Image Removed

...

The file is a flat list (items areng grouped per Box). The following information on both the source and target tasks of a dependency:

  • Box name

  • task key 

  • task status

  • summary

  • dependency type
