Dependency and Workflow Management Questions

Focuses on identifying, mapping, and managing dependencies and workflows across teams and services. Candidates should explain how they visualize dependency graphs and critical paths, create handoffs and buffer plans, maintain cadences to surface blockers, use RACI or similar role clarity tools, and apply workflow tools and escalation protocols to keep parallel workstreams aligned. Includes coordination across operational teams, minimizing cascade delays, and designing processes to prevent work from falling through the cracks.
