Special Attributes and Functionalities on Dependency Sticky Notes

A “Dependency” sticky has these special attributes and functionalities compared to other sticky note types:

  1. A Blocked team, that is requesting another team's assistance

  2. An Enabling team, that is assigned to resolve the dependency

  3. A Progress Bar as the child work items are completed by the Enabling team

  4. A Dependency can be shared with another team within the same or a different ART

  5. A Dependency can be mirrored (visualized) on the ART Planning and Solution Planning Boards

Note: As soon as a dependency gets shared with another team, the system automatically adds a Red Flag sticker to that dependency sticky note for an additional visual indicator that there was a new dependency raised.
