dependency-mapping

Sequence feature slices by building a DSM matrix to map cross-slice dependencies, then calculate fan-in, fan-out, and leverage scores to generate a risk-ordered implementation plan.

A DSM matrix is a square grid used for dependency mapping to visualize which feature slices depend on others, enabling calculation of fan-in and fan-out risk scores for safe sequencing.

Calculate leverage and risk scores for multi-slice features by computing fan-in and fan-out values from a DSM matrix, then applying a scoring rubric to rank dependencies and guide implementation order.

Use dependency mapping for feature sequencing during the planning phase of multi-slice features, specifically in CONVERGE phases, to determine a safe implementation order based on cross-slice dependency risks.

Yes, you can use dependency mapping to decide implementation order for complex projects by identifying cross-slice dependencies, calculating risk scores, and generating a prioritized rollout sequence to minimize release risk.
