Add prerequisite and dependent items for stories in Agile Development 2.0 so
that you can visualize these dependencies on the scrum planning board and plan your sprints
accordingly.

## Before you begin

Role required: scrum_story_creator, scrum_story_editor

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAgile DevelopmentStories.
2. Open the story to which you want to add dependencies.  
   Alternatively, you can use the scrum program board from the Agile board to open your story and add dependencies.
3. Add dependencies to the stories using the Prerequisite Stories or Dependent Stories related lists.  
   * Prerequisite Stories is the list of all stories that must be complete before the current story.
   * Dependent Stories is the list of all stories that depend on the completion of the current story.
