task dependencies
In this Discussion, you construct a brief example of a health information technology project that illustrates three of the four types of dependencies. In addition, you assess the importance of accurately identifying dependencies in a project timeline.
To prepare:
- Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on identifying dependencies and sequencing activities.
- Bring to mind a health information technology project on which to focus for this Discussion. Note: You will use this same project idea to complete this week’s Assignment.
- Consider the tasks necessary to complete the project you selected.
- Think about the relationship between the tasks (i.e., the dependencies).
- Reflect on why it is important to accurately identify the dependencies in a project timeline.
THEN
Post an example that illustrates dependencies, or relationships, between tasks in a health information technology project timeline. Include at least three of the four types of dependencies between tasks in the example. Assess the importance of accurately identifying dependencies in a project timeline.
