Release Dependent

The Release Dependent iCube enables you to create ad hoc reports to analyze Release, Phase, or Task dependents on a gate task that is associated with a Release. A Gate task is a task that defines the dependencies associated with other releases (i.e., a release, phase in a release, or task in a release). The release/phase/task which has been defined as the dependency should be completed for the current release to progress on to other tasks/phases.

Using the Release Dependents iCube, Release Managers can gain insights into important business decisions such as:

Understand the impact of task delays on all its dependent releases, phases, or tasks.
View the critical path across or within releases that have dependent gate tasks to understand the time required to complete a release.

You can also blend this iCube with other iCubes, such as Release, Release Phase, or Release Task and use the Release, Phase, or Task attributes as filters to analyze and view the corresponding dependent items. You can also view the list of release, phases, or tasks on which a specific release, phase, or task is dependent.
