Dependency Tracking

Command: /dependency

Visualize and track dependencies.

Dependency Matrix

         Feature A  Feature B  Feature C
Feature A    -         →          ↔
Feature B    ←         -          →
Feature C    ↔         ←          -

Legend: → depends on | ← depended by | ↔ mutual

Dependency Log

## Dependency Tracker: {Feature}

### Upstream Dependencies (We depend on)
| Dependency | Owner | Status | Impact if Delayed |
|------------|-------|--------|-------------------|
| | | | |

### Downstream Dependencies (Depend on us)
| Dependent | Owner | Their ETA | Our Deadline |
|-----------|-------|-----------|--------------|
| | | | |

### Dependency Status: Healthy / At Risk / Blocked

Risk Management

Risk Register Template

## Risk Register: {Sprint/Project}

| ID | Risk | Category | Probability | Impact | Score | Mitigation | Owner | Status |
|----|------|----------|-------------|--------|-------|------------|-------|--------|
| R1 | | Tech/Schedule/Resource | H/M/L | H/M/L | 1-9 | | | Open |

### Scoring
- Probability: H=3, M=2, L=1
- Impact: H=3, M=2, L=1
- Score = P × I

### Thresholds
- 7-9: Critical - Escalate immediately
- 4-6: High - Weekly review
- 1-3: Low - Monitor

Workflow Integration

Generating Status Report

When user runs /status:

1. Read PBIs in team-artifacts/pbis/ with current sprint
2. Check git commits since last report
3. Identify blockers and risks
4. Generate status report
5. Optionally share with team

Tracking Dependencies

When user runs /dependency {feature}:

1. Read feature PBI

Quality Checklist

Before completing PM artifacts:

• All blockers identified with owners
• Risk scores calculated
• Dependencies mapped
• Action items have owners and due dates
• Status uses traffic light indicators

Task Planning Notes

• Always plan and break many small todo tasks
• Always add a final review todo task to review the works done at the end to find any fix or enhancement needed
