Use this interactive demo to learn how to link related tickets together in Jira.

Quick summary

Linking tickets in Jira lets teams map dependencies between issues using built-in issue relationships. This guide walks through how to open a Jira ticket, use the Link Issue button, and confirm the connection in just a few clicks.


Steps

  1. Open your Jira ticket by clicking on it from the project board.
  2. Click the Link Issue button inside the ticket detail view.
  3. In the Linked issue field, select the type of relationship you want to define between the connected issues.
  4. Select the issue you want to connect from the available list.
  5. Click the Link button to confirm and save the issue link.

📌 Why this matters

Linking tickets in Jira is essential for teams that need to track dependencies, blockers, and related work across sprints and projects. By defining explicit issue relationships — such as "blocks," "is blocked by," or "relates to" — teams gain full visibility into how tasks are connected, reducing missed dependencies and improving sprint planning accuracy. This feature is especially valuable for agile teams managing complex backlogs, where understanding issue relationships directly impacts delivery speed and cross-team coordination.
