Dependency risk assessment:

1. DEPENDENCY INVENTORY
| Dependency | Type | Owner | Status | Criticality |
|------------|------|-------|--------|-------------|
[Types: Technical, Team, Vendor, Data, Approval]

2. RISK SCORING
For each dependency:
- Probability of delay (1-10)
- Impact if delayed (1-10)
- Detectability of issues (1-10)
- Risk Priority Number (P × I × D)

3. CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS
- Which dependencies are on the critical path?
- What is the total float available?
- Where are the bottlenecks?

4. MITIGATION STRATEGIES
| Dependency | Risk Level | Mitigation Strategy | Contingency |
|------------|------------|---------------------|-------------|

5. MONITORING PLAN
- Key milestones to track
- Early warning indicators
- Check-in frequency
- Escalation triggers

6. CONTINGENCY OPTIONS
If critical dependency fails:
- Scope reduction options
- Timeline extension implications
- Alternative approaches
- Communication plan

7. OVERALL RISK ASSESSMENT
Risk Level: [Low/Medium/High/Critical]
Confidence in timeline: [%]
Recommended actions before proceeding.
