            The new Pipelines visualization is a great feature.  Unfortunately, most of our builds are setup to allow promotions to any environment directly from the build (rather than chaining deployments together).  That is, we promote a build to DEV, then we later promote the same build to QA rather than promoting the DEV deployment/promotion itself to QA.
 
 
The current Pipelines page only shows you the most recent promotion for the build.  That's interesting, but not all that useful for us.  It would be a huge benefit if we could use it to see all of the promotions that were triggered from a build and when (or at least the most recent promotion of each type).  
 
 
You wouldn't want to render it the same way you do with the chained promotions (Build > Deploy to DEV > Deploy to QA > Deploy to STG), but I think you could do something like this for these types of promotions:
 
 
Build 123 > Deploy to DEV 
 
                | > Deploy to QA
 
                | > Deploy to STG 
 
 
The two visualizations could work together as well:
 
 
Build 123 > Deploy to DEV > Run Smoke Tests
 
                | > Deploy to QA > Run Acceptance Tests
 
 
If that's too difficult, if you could at least click on or hover over the last promotion for the build and see a list of all the previous promotions that would still be very useful.  Thanks!
