Hi, one of the sessions I attended at the conference yesterday showed dependency lines going red when they were out of sequence, mine don't do that but it would be massively helpful - what do I need to configure for this, is it a mashup?

Hello,

This happens automatically when items are planning into sprints (or program increments) with related items that are also shown on the view not being planned in order.  These will be identified as planning issues and the relation arrow will be red and dashed.  A good example of where these show is the program board.



A sample configuration:

If you look across Program Increments (Releases) this will also happen.  An example would be the Capacity Plan view (just need to show relations on the view!)



Which then looks like this:


And you may already know, but I like to right click on cards to build the relation while on a view.  Right Click on the card, select Add Relation, then Click which card the arrow should point to.

Ah, I'm going to defer to @Steve Mazurkiewicz on this one.  Steve, does this sound familiar?​

Thank you, that explains why I don't see it.

Our engineering-level sprint planning is all in azure, the OKR view I wanted to apply it to in TP is not going against releases, but quarters. I was hoping to see it for any Gantt view where the dependencies are out of sequence, we have the arrows, it's just not quite as obvious as those red ones. I could add a quarterly release entity but I think that may upset the overlapping actual releases and reports.

Thanks for the tip on the relations, I found out about it a couple of weeks ago - by far the best way to do it!
