Blocks/Depends on link is ignored in the roadmap view
have a „Depends On“ link between two work items. The work items has different owner. When I display the work items in the roadmap vie of the plan, they start at the same time. I would expect that the work item that depends on the other work item cannot start earlier than the other work item is finished. Is this a bug in the roadmap view or must I change the process configuration? (I use the scrum template)

I believe this is because IBM says that Depend on and Blocks are 'advisory' links, and not functional.
ie out of the box a 'depends on', does not prevent a workitem from resolving even tho the words say otherwise. We have implemented a process advisor extension, source shared here on jazz.net, to enforce this behavior not that this is a solution, but if you make these children instead does the diagram draw correctly and calculate time properly?

Hi, I am interested in this behavior too.

@Sam. Thanks for the answer. But do I have to extend the RTC Server, or is there also a functional link between two work items that I can user for that behavior?

the only functional link I am aware of is Parent/Child, but I don't know if it affects the Roadmap View

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.
