Dependency Management

Identifying and tracking the relationships where one piece of work relies on another, so delays and conflicts are surfaced and managed.

In complex programs, workstreams and projects depend on each other — an output of one is an input to another. Dependency management makes these relationships explicit and tracks them, inbound and outbound, at every level so a slip in one place is visible everywhere it matters.

Unmanaged dependencies are a leading cause of program delay; surfacing them early is essential to keeping interdependent work aligned.
