Remove Connections
In AgilePlace, you can create parent-child connections between cards. This makes it easier to track and manage the progress of work distributed across multiple teams or to communicate rollup information to stakeholders.
Once you’ve established parent-child connections between cards, statistics at the parent card level help you quickly assess the progress of child cards and identify potential problems. In addition, multi-parent connections allow this information to be easily share information and progress on child cards with multiple team leads or stakeholders.
Connections capabilities are included in AgilePlace.
Remove a Connection
In AgilePlace you can remove connections as easily as you can create them.

If the child card you select has connections to more than one parent card, you won’t see a single parent card association beneath the Parent Card field.
Instead, you’ll see a button that says Manage Multiple Parents, which you can click to be taken to the Parent Cards tab where you can manage and remove specific parent card connections.
