Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Kendis Dependency Extension? −
The Kendis Dependency Extension brings your full dependency model directly into Jira Cloud and Azure DevOps work items. When a team member opens a Jira issue, they see all linked dependencies including provider/consumer roles, status, target resolution date, and whether the dependency is on track without needing to open Kendis. The extension is available for Jira Cloud on the Atlassian Marketplace and for Azure DevOps.

Is Kendis available with European cloud hosting? +
Yes. Kendis offers European cloud hosting for organisations that require their data to remain within EU jurisdiction. This is particularly relevant for enterprises operating under GDPR requirements who cannot use US-only cloud infrastructure. Contact the Kendis team to discuss deployment options.

How does Kendis handle cross-ALM dependencies? +
For organisations where different programs or ARTs use different tools such as Jira for some teams and Azure DevOps for others, Kendis manages cross-ALM dependencies using Kendis-native link types. Both the Jira user and the Azure DevOps user see the dependency rendered inside their respective tool via the Kendis extension.

What are the features available on dependency management board? +
Our instant ART-level dashboard shows total dependencies, overdue items, reverse dependencies, and unplanned blockers giving RTEs a real-time risk picture without leaving Kendis.

Can you set watchers and deadlines on dependency? +
Yes, you can add both watchers and deadlines to dependencies in Kendis to keep stakeholders informed and ensure timely resolution. These features help manage risks and keep the spotlight on critical dependencies during program ceremonies.
