Notification when blocking work item is closed


Michael Walker (99214201157) | asked Mar 30 '10, 6:01 p.m.
Is there a way to have users notified when a blocking work item is closed?

For example: Owner A has a Task that has a blocking Defect owned by Owner B and a Blocked By link exists. Owner A would like to know when the blocking Defect is closed so he can proceed with his Task.

Outside of Owner A adding himself as a Subscriber, is there another way to do this?

There is no explicit mechanism for this case, but you could e.g. create
a query for the blocking tasks that were resolved in the last 3 days and
add this query to a dashboard or Team Central. Or create a feed for this
query.
