Motivation An article on this topic already exists on the wiki. However, I believe I can improve/supplement this article on a number of points: 1) Elaborate on the application potential of the different types of dependencies. 2) Supplement the original theory, from James D. Thomson’s Organizations in Action, with today’s perspective on it (how the theory has evolved). 3) Take the theory from its original focus on project management and discuss its application potential on program and portfolio management levels. 4) Describe dependencies’ ability to work as a Risk Management tool
The topic is highly relevant to our case, and I hope this can be used to write a better article as well as prove useful on the case work.

Abstract (Draft)
A project consists of a series of tasks that need to be executed in order to complete it. The way these tasks are arranged in relation of each other will come down to dependence.
