Progress calculations should include dependencies


What is the challenge?

  • Current progress calculations do not account for dependencies, making it difficult to evaluate the true completeness of Master Features and Features.

What is the impact?

  • Ensures more accurate progress tracking, especially for complex projects with multiple interdependent tasks, improving planning and decision-making.

Describe your idea

  • Add the ability to include dependencies in progress calculations

  • This would allow completion percentages to factor in the status of dependent features, ensuring that Epics and Features reflect more realistic progress.

  • This enhancement is especially important for teams managing interconnected activities where dependent tasks affect overall completion.

    I agree and discovered the same issue within our company. We can have a release (including its own features) within one division, but another division must deliver features for that release too. In other words, the release will not get ready without ALL features being completed. I took the dependency "depends on" and then at least I can see this in a Gantt chart. But when it comes to releases progress "calculate from features", only the features directly under the release are taken into account. The features that come in with dependencies, they are not within this releases progress calculation.

    This means that if you NOT will look into the Gantt chart (incl. other dependencies) or click on these depended features, you can misinterpret the release progress. If you assume that really ALL involved features are taken into the release progress calculation. Because that seems not to be the case.
