Relations and Dependencies

Overview

Connect work, understand impact, and anticipate change before it happens.

In every organization, work is interconnected — one task depends on another, one decision triggers many outcomes.
KanBo makes these invisible relationships visible through Relations and Dependencies, allowing teams to see how work connects, where bottlenecks form, and what’s at risk when priorities shift.

Relations and Dependencies transform isolated tasks into an interactive network of execution, ensuring that leaders and teams share a single source of truth about how progress flows through the organization.

Why It Matters

Traditional project tools often present work in isolation — tasks listed sequentially without context.
But in reality, business outcomes rely on dependencies: approvals, deliveries, decisions, and shared resources.
When these aren’t visible, projects crash without warning.

KanBo solves this by making dependencies a core language of collaboration, not an afterthought.

With Relations and Dependencies, teams can:

Replace status meetings with visual clarity.

Predict delays before they happen.

Understand how one task’s status affects others.

Track responsibility across teams and departments.

Improve risk forecasting and decision quality.
