For AzureDevOps/TFS boards at Kendis, the dependencies experience is redesigned completely. It's a smarter view with better visibility, filtration, and sorting options.

This view is updated with more options including "Description", Status workflow, responsible, and target resolution date.

Besides these additions, the system is smart to show you the warnings, if you are making dependencies in the reverser order, e.g., feature 101 is in Sprint 3 and it can't be a "Successor" to feature 7, which is in Sprint 2.

If you change the link type to "Predecessor" in this example then the warning will go away.

List view now offers more options in terms of filtering dependencies, sorting them by different orders, and being able to edit and delete dependencies from the list view.

For team planning and tracking, Kendis now offers the option to view the team board "By Story View". This will show the stories as main cards and the features as a short label on the card.

Kendis offers "Just in Time" provisioning when new users log in at Kendis through SSO. However, if the users don't have any matching groups then for security reasons they don't have access to any boards, but they would consume your Kendis license, prompting your organization Kendis admin to go to the Users directory to remove all the extra users.

To make it simpler, the admin can set the flow so that any user that comes to Kendis without a valid SAML/AD group, will be added as an inactive user. They will be shown in the Users list as inactive and will not consume any license. Once you assign them to any of the board collections and activate them, the users will be able to use Kendis.
