Dependency Cycle

A dependency cycle occurs when two or more tasks, projects, or components depend on each other in a loop, making it impossible to start or complete any one of them without the other(s) being finished first. For example, Task A needs Task B to be completed, but Task B also depends on Task A. This circular dependency can cause delays or deadlocks in workflows because no task can proceed until the other(s) are done. Identifying and breaking these cycles helps streamline processes and ensures smooth progress.
