Most planning trouble in Jira does not start with bad scheduling. It starts earlier, the moment a dependency goes unseen or a link is never mapped. In this hands-on community session, Optimizory and BrizoIT share a dependency-first way to plan work in Jira: understand what depends on what, then build a schedule around reality instead of assumptions.

We will take one real scenario, a requirement that changes mid-sprint, and work it end to end. Map the impact across every linked work item, spot who is overloaded and exactly when, replan where the work actually fits, and package it all as clear evidence your team and stakeholders can trust.

You will see it done live using Links Explorer and Company Calendar for Jira, but the approach is yours to keep whatever tools you run.

You will walk away knowing how to:

• Trace the full chain from requirement to test case, straight from your existing Jira links

• Read your team's real workload before you commit to a single date

• Turn a tangle of dependencies into one visual plan the whole team can follow

Whether you lead a PMO, run delivery, or work in a regulated team where traceability is not optional, you will leave with something you can put to work in your very next sprint.

Stay with us to the finish, a few lucky attendees will head home with Atlassian certification vouchers and gift cards on us.
