I'd like to be able to specify story dependencies between two separate mingle projects i.e. select a story card from Project B and set as a dependency on a story in project A. Is this possible? I know you can now write mql between projects in 3.0 in order to create reports, etc.
thx,
jeff

Hi Jeff
There is currently no way to do this although this is something that we are looking at doing in future releases. One thing that may help you track relationships between projects is that you can create links between cards in different projects. You can read more about this here http://www.thoughtworks-studios.com/mingle/3.0/help/using_the_mingle_wiki.html in the "Cross project card and page linking" section.
For our information, what kind of dependency do you have? One story shoudl finish before one can start? Or one story must start for the other to start?
Thanks Suzie
I'm looking at having a project for each work stream and some Features with dependancies in more than one work stream.
An example might be that a B2C website is separate work stream, Project 1,from the main internal application, Project 2, but requires address lookup to be made available from the internal application, as part of the 'Customer contact' feature. The address lookup story would be in project 2, but other contact feature stories are in project 1.
Therefore it would be useful to have a way of listing all the stories for a particular Feature regardless of which project they are in, so that you can see the status, when each story it is planned etc. as a whole. Are you looking to enhance filtering to cope with multiproject views or is there another way of doing this?

There are a couple of things that you can do now in Mingle 3.1.
In the future we are planning to be able to manage programs of work and this includes managing dependencies between projects.
Thanks
