Dependency Mapper

Overview

The Dependency Mapper skill provides comprehensive capabilities for mapping, visualizing, and managing cross-project dependencies within programs and portfolios. It identifies critical dependencies, detects risks, and supports program-level coordination and decision-making.

Capabilities

Dependency Mapping

  • Create dependency network diagrams
  • Map dependencies across multiple projects
  • Classify dependency types (finish-start, start-start, etc.)
  • Document dependency owners and interfaces
  • Track dependency commitments and agreements

Dependency Analysis

  • Identify critical cross-project dependencies
  • Calculate dependency risk exposure
  • Detect circular dependencies
  • Analyze dependency chain length and complexity
  • Model cascade impact of delays

Visualization

  • Generate program-level dependency views
  • Create dependency matrices
  • Visualize dependency timelines
  • Show dependency status dashboards
  • Produce stakeholder-specific views

Risk and Resolution

  • Track dependency resolution status
  • Perform dependency impact analysis
  • Recommend dependency mitigation strategies
  • Alert on dependency risks and issues
  • Generate program-level dependency reports

Usage

Input Requirements

  • Project schedules and milestones
  • Cross-project interface definitions
  • Dependency relationships and commitments
  • Dependency owner assignments
  • Risk tolerance thresholds

Output Deliverables

  • Dependency network diagram
  • Dependency risk assessment
  • Circular dependency report
  • Dependency status tracking
  • Mitigation recommendations

Example Use Cases

  1. Program Planning: Map initial dependencies
  2. Integration Review: Analyze cross-project interfaces
  3. Risk Assessment: Identify dependency risks
  4. Governance Reporting: Report dependency status
