Challenges of Project Dependencies
- Risk Management Complexity: Dependency comes with in-built risk factor hence making risk management essential towards project effectiveness. It can be difficult to identify and address this type of risk before problems arise, though that’s exactly what must occur.
- Differences in Agile Project Navigation: Dependencies may be peculiar in agile projects. Identifying, managing and adapting to dependencies in agile is a dynamically changing process that needs a new approach for each sprint.
- External Effects and Technology Dependencies: These external dependencies include vendor’s delivery or other technology-related dependencies such as software, hardware and integration which can also be quite complicated and demanding.
- Resource Shortages: Dependencies may result to shortage of either human or material resources. Adequate planning and coordinating is a must, to limit the impact of resource shortage on project implementation.
How to identify dependencies in project management?
Project management entails multiple elements that are interrelated and the ability to make things move forward. The selection of dependencies and how they are managed is still one of the essential drivers determining the path to the project life cycle. In project management, project dependencies imply the interconnection between various tasks and activities, such that a given task is executed by completing another. The right planning and implementation in projects require proper identification of these dependencies.
