Canvas for diagnosis: Dependency Mapping

A visualization of technical and organizational entanglements that exposes bottlenecks and dangerous coupling.

Suitable for delivery blockages caused by coupling, handovers and hidden dependencies.

Diagnostic workflow

These steps lead from observing a symptom to a grounded intervention.

Schritt 1Where does the flow from change to impact really stop in everyday life?

STEP 1 — Understand delivery problem and flow

Dependency mapping helps when it is not just technology but handovers and coupling that slow down delivery.

Schritt 2Which dependency holds the entire system most strongly?

STEP 2 — Analyze connections and risks

Now it's not about completeness, but about the few dependencies that cause the most damage.

Schritt 3What addiction can we mitigate or circumvent first?

STEP 3 — Planning decoupling and next steps

Derive measures that really reduce the coordination load and coupling instead of just making it visible.
