Dependency Types and Bashers

The document discusses various types of dependencies that can occur in work environments and hinder progress. It describes dependencies related to requirements, expertise, task allocation, historical knowledge, and external activities. It then provides strategies called "Dependency Bashers" to help identify, prioritize, visualize, and resolve dependencies in order to keep work moving forward.
