Dependency Mapping and Signals

A.1.2.2 Dependency Mapping and Signals

• Dependency Cards: Use special dependency cards or tags to highlight tasks that are dependent on work from another team. For instance, if a feature being developed requires specific customer data from the sales team, the development Kanban Board should reflect this dependency. This visual indicator ensures that teams are aware of dependencies and can prioritize accordingly.
• Color-Coded Indicators: Apply color-coded tags to quickly signal which team is involved in each dependency (e.g., blue for development, red for design, green for marketing). This visual approach helps stakeholders across boards easily spot dependencies and plan their workflows accordingly, ensuring a smoother coordination across teams.
