Here are a few quick and real-world scenarios showing how teams use the Depth control to explore dependencies. From Product Managers to Developers, everyone can tailor the view to focus on what matters most.

Meet John, a Product Manager.
He’s preparing for the daily stand-up and needs to quickly understand what’s blocking his team’s progress. Instead of scrolling through multiple Jira work items, John runs the map and sets Depth = 1.
Now he receives only the work items that directly block others. The result should be neither more nor less than the specified value. This gives him an instant, clutter-free view of what’s stopping the team today.
→ Outcome: John can prioritize blockers right away and keep the sprint on track.
Meet Maria, a Technical Lead.
Her team owns a shared API used by several other teams. A single delay can ripple through multiple projects.
Maria increases the Depth to 3 and instantly visualizes all related dependencies from API to front-end, testing, and release tickets.
→ Outcome: She understands the impact chain and can communicate risks across teams before work items escalate.
Meet Alex, a Release Coordinator.
He’s responsible for making sure nothing slips through before shipping a new version.
By setting Depth = 2, Alex reviews all linked work items plus sub-tasks connected to the release epic.
→ Outcome: He confirms that every dependency is completed and confidently marks the release as “Ready to deploy.”
