Type: WorkflowVersion: v7

How to use this workflow

Dependency Check is useful when repeated work needs a visible path from request to completion. Keep it compact: the value is in clarifying ownership, next action, and evidence, not in creating a large approval artifact.

  1. Define the trigger that starts the workflow and the condition that ends it.
  2. Confirm the owner, participants, inputs, constraints, and expected output.
  3. Perform the steps in the order people will use during normal workload.
  4. Record evidence, exceptions, decisions, and unresolved follow-up.
  5. Review the workflow after repeated confusion, incidents, or ownership changes.

Expected output

A completed dependency check record with trigger, owner, decision, next action, and evidence.

Common failure mode

Keeping the document as a form instead of using it to make decisions visible.

Use notes

Best triggerUse when the work repeats, affects others, creates risk, or needs a defensible handoff.
EvidenceKeep the shortest record that proves the decision, action, owner, and result.
Review pointReview after incidents, repeated confusion, tool changes, ownership changes, or missed expectations.
