Abstract
A software project management system can store object data about components of a software development project, such epics, features, and stories. The software project management system can also store dependency objects that reflect dependency relationships between two or more components of the software development project. The dependency objects can track status information about the dependency relationships, including expected completion dates, acceptance criteria, and state indicators. The information stored in the dependency objects can be updated over time as information about the dependency relationship changes. The software project management system can also use the dependency objects to display information in a user interface about one or more dependency relationships, such as to indicate which dependency relationships are on track or behind schedule.
