dependency tree
A dependency tree is a visual or conceptual map showing how different parts of a project or system rely on each other. Think of it like a family tree but for tasks or components; some rely on others to be completed first. For example, before you can bake a cake, you need to gather ingredients and preheat the oven. The dependency tree helps organize these relationships, ensuring each step or component is developed or completed in the correct order, preventing errors or delays by clearly showing what depends on what.
