Dependencies Integration with AzureDevOps
Providing the ability to integrate dependencies between Kendis and AzureDevOps has been a popular feature from our customers. Now you can
Select the AzureDevOps links for the dependencies
Dependencies created at Kendis will be visible in AzureDevOps as links between the items
Existing dependencies links in AzureDevOps will be visible at Kendis in "Blue color" lines

Story Level Dependencies at Kendis board for AzureDevOps
It is now possible to create dependencies between
Feature to Feature
Story to Story
Feature to Story
Story to Feature
Story to Story dependencies have 3 colors
Purple: Open dependency between stories
Light Green: Resolved dependency between stories
Blue: Dependency created at AzureDevOps
View story level dependencies counts and lines at feature cards
Previously it was not possible to view the counts for the story level dependencies at feature card and if the stories were not expanded then you couldn't see the dependency lines as well. In this release, experience to view the story level dependencies is significantly enhanced. Now there are
Count for story level dependencies on the feature card
Dependency lines between features when stories are not expanded (to highlight story level dependencies)
Show Jira only dependencies for stories at View by Sprint and Team
Previously Jira only dependencies were only visible at the "Jira Dependencies" tab under the dependencies list view.
With this release story to story dependency will be visible under By Team and By Sprint list view. This gives better visibility for the dependencies that are already created at Jira.
Updates to the Smart Reports
For the "Scope & Delivery Changes" section, there have been major improvements, a couple of graphs highlighted below are renamed to provide clarity on what it means.
Feature Added After Planning: This count shows the features that are added to the board after the planning. In case, the feature is not assigned to any teams, it will not show up in the bar chart.
Stories Added After Planning: Similar to the features, it shows all the stories that are added to the board. If the stories are assigned to the teams then they will also appear on the bar chart
Bug Fixes
There are a number of other minor enhancements and improvements in the webhook and other areas of the board.
