JIRA allows you to mark a task as blocking another task, thus resulting in a graph of dependencies. Unfortunately, that information is mostly useless, because JIRA isn't able to display that graph visually, and none of the plugins I've tried are doing a good job at it either.
Install stack first. It will install ghc (that could take a while) and this Haskell program (that should be must faster) on first use, and later uses will be much faster.
This isn't a JIRA plugin, but a command-line tool, so you'll have to do a bit of manual work in order to export the data from JIRA first.

Search for a set of issues you're interested in, e.g.

Run
jira-dependencieson that file:stack run jira-dependencies example-input.csv | dot -Tpng > example-output.png
The output should look like this (but with the issue Summary if you included it
in the .csv):
