Advanced Roadmaps - end to end dependency not doing what I expect

[Janene Pappas]

I've set up a sandbox plan to figure out how to set up our team's roadmaps. One item I'm struggling with is setting 2 tasks to finish at the same time. I've set the dependency using "Must finish together with" between 2 issues. I expect the Auto-scheduler to align the end dates of the 2 tasks, but it is not. It is aligning the start dates, which is not what I need or expect. Is this a bug? Screen shot for additional information:

I want the Design Epic 1 and Discovery Epic 1 to end at the same time. 2 different teams are assigned to these, and the settings are to allow concurrent work. How do I set this up so they end together other than hand-setting the date?

Hi @Janene Pappas 

There is a similar discussion here.

In your plan you can configure the dependencies either sequentially or concurrent but when you are using issue links it will not exactly behave like Finish to Finish. What you can do is to make sure both the issues are part of the same release.

I hope it helps.

Thanks Ravi. This is not a great solution, but I appreciate the info.

Having FF links not actually working is very non-ideal. @atlassian, this makes AR less usable for developing a real roadmap and staffing allocation. I'd have to buy yet another plugin to accomplish this need.
