Linking 2 Stories with 'Depends On'
I created Story 1 and Story 2 work items. I linked the two stories together by making Story 2 "depend on" Story 1. I would think I couldn't complete Story 2 until Story 1 is complete due to a dependency. However, it lets me mark Story 2 as Done first.
How exactly are users supposed to be using the "Depends On" link?

will have to notice that it depends on an unresolved work item, which
should prompt the person to rethink resolving Story 2.
