Visually pleasing and extremely powerful, the dependency wheel summarizes all the dependencies that you have created among teams on the Kendis board into one dynamic solution.
This view is accessible in "Smart Reports" under the "Dependencies Dashboard" section
Key points are
The names of the teams are listed on the boundary of the wheel diagram.
The teams are differentiated with the colors that you have set while creating the teams.
All these teams on the wheel are clickable.
There is a mesh of lines that represent the dependencies, these lines are outgoing from a team or incoming to them.
The width of each line is directly proportional to the number of dependency lines which means that the greater the number of dependencies, the thicker the line on the dependency wheel will be.
How Do You Know The Total Number Of Dependencies?
Once you hover on any team, a tooltip will appear that will show the total number of dependencies that exist for your selected team with other teams. When viewing the dependencies for your team, only the lines that exist for that team will be highlighted while the rest of the lines would become opaque.
What Does Hovering On The Line Show?
Whenever you hover on to a line, it will show the source and target of where the dependency line is being made along with the total number of dependencies it has.
How Do You Know If a Dependency is Outbound or Inbound?
When you hover over a team and you see the same colored lines emanating from your selected team to other teams, those are considered outbound dependencies from your selected team.
Inbound dependencies are any different colored lines from other teams that are joining into your selected team.
