Dependency Radar

See cross-squad delivery risk before it derails the work.

Dependency Radar is a Jira Cloud app that turns existing Jira issue links into clear sprint and matrix views for scrum-of-scrums, delivery leads, and Jira teams working across multiple squads.

Dependency Radar for Jira — squad-by-sprint view with risk flags and dependency details

How it works

From the Jira links your teams already maintain to a clear cross-squad picture.

1
Connect your Jira links

Dependency Radar reads the issue links your teams already maintain in Jira Cloud — no new fields or workflows to learn.

2
View sprint and matrix layouts

Switch between squad-by-sprint and matrix views to see who is providing work, who is consuming it, and where the hand-offs sit.

3
Focus on red and amber issues

Blocked, delayed, and carried-over dependencies surface automatically so you can act before they derail delivery.

With a few clicks you can customize sprint dates, threshold limits and the date fields used (due / start) and be ready to surface data for a meaningful conversation straight out of the gate.

The app then identifies provider and consumer relationships between squads and places those dependencies into tailorable sprint-based views.

Teams can use Dependency Radar to:

  • Create saved views for a squad group or ART-sized delivery group
  • Scan dependencies across a scrollable sprint timeline
  • Filter by risk status, dependency type, project, or direction
  • Open dependency details to inspect the consumer issue, provider issue, status, dates, and risk reason
  • Use matrix views to compare provider and consumer cross-squad links at a glance

Risk indicators help facilitators focus the conversation. Red and amber items show where dependencies may already be blocked, overdue, carried forward, or at risk of causing flow-on delivery impact.

The product works from existing Jira data. Teams continue creating and maintaining issues and links in Jira as normal; Dependency Radar provides the visibility layer.
