User Story Dependencies

Sometimes a user story requires the delivery of another user story or its functionality before it can be implemented. For example, a user story that provides access to online help depends on completion of user story for a Help button. A user story can also be depended on by another story.

• A dependent story is the story that depends on another story.
• A story dependency is the story on which another story depends.

You can create dependencies in the user story detail to note these requirements. The dependency must be a user story in the same product.
