dependency graph

A dependency graph is a visual or logical way to show how different tasks, components, or pieces of a project rely on each other. Each node (or point) represents an element, and arrows show the direction of dependence—for example, Task B can't start until Task A is completed. This helps teams understand the order of work, identify critical steps, and manage potential delays by highlighting dependencies clearly. Essentially, it maps out the relationships between various parts of a project or system to ensure organized and efficient progress.
