Instructions
Dependency Radar is a read-only Jira Cloud app that turns the issue links your squads already maintain into Sprint and Matrix dependency risk views. It is designed for multi-squad Agile delivery groups and their scrum-of-scrums conversations, helping scrum masters, delivery managers, and squad leads spot blocked, at-risk, and carried-over cross-squad work without leaving their normal Jira workflow.
The two guides below cover everything needed to roll out and use the app. The Client Installation and Admin Guide walks Jira administrators through installation paths, requested permissions, first-time configuration of sprint calendars, matrix periods, link mappings, and date fields, plus a validation checklist. The User Guide explains the Sprint and Matrix views, dependency types, direction filters, risk signals, and how the app derives dates from live Jira data so teams can trust and troubleshoot what they see.
For Jira administrators and delivery leaders. Covers installation, permissions, first-time setup, admin configuration principles, and a pre-launch validation checklist.
For scrum masters, facilitators, and squad leads. Explains Sprint and Matrix views, dependency types, direction filters, risk signals, date calculations, and troubleshooting.
