Dependency

Technical Project Management Buzzword General

Something your work waits on. The project manager's weather system: invisible, uncontrollable, and responsible for every delay you'll be asked to explain anyway.

Heard in the wild

“The install is blocked — vendor delivery is the critical dependency.”

Tone check: Technical

Surface dependencies early and loudly. A dependency named in week one is planning; in week ten, it's an excuse.
