The Dependency Status Dashboard app shows dependencies between user stories for a series of upcoming iterations. This assists groups with forecasting potential blockers or stoppages in the next iteration. Product owners will be able to see what teams they need to talk to about their dependencies.

If you want to start using the app immediately, create an Custom HTML app on your Rally dashboard. Then copy App.html from the deploy folder into the HTML text area. That's it, it should be ready to use. See this help link if you don't know how to create a dashboard page for Custom HTML apps.

Or you can just click here to find the file and copy it into the custom HTML app.

Dependencies are based on predecessor and successor settings among user stories.

Warnings will appear in the app when:

• A dependency is not yet scheduled.
• A dependency is scheduled too late to start work on the original story.
• A dependency is marked as blocked.

NOTE: Only a story's immediate predecessors are listed in the app.

You're free to customize this app to your liking (see the License section for details). If you need to add any new Javascript or CSS files, make sure to update config.json so it will be included the next time you build the app.

This app uses the Rally SDK 1.32. The documentation can be found here.

Available Rakefile tasks are:

rake build                      # Build a deployable app which includes all JavaScript and CSS resources inline
rake clean                      # Clean all generated output
rake debug                      # Build a debug version of the app, useful for local development
rake deploy                     # Deploy an app to a Rally server
rake deploy:debug               # Deploy a debug app to a Rally server
rake deploy:info                # Display deploy information
rake jslint                     # Run jslint on all JavaScript files used by this app, can be enabled by setting ENABLE_JSLINT=true.
