Soft dependencies

In BigPicture, No no action dependencies are called Soft dependencies and are used to mark relationships between tasks without changing their dates (indicating that tasks are thematically related). You can also create dependencies between items from different monday boards.

...

Strong dependencies

In BigPicture, Strict strict and Flexible flexible dependencies are called Strong dependencies and they can cause task date changes, as they are mainly used for scheduling.

BigPicture provides great possibilities for defining four types of dependencies, setting them in ASAP or non-ASAP mode, as well as adding a time interval between tasks (called “lag time”). You can also create dependencies between items from different monday boards.

Strong dependencies are marked on the Gantt chart with a solid line.

Broken dependencies

A broken dependency is displayed as an orange arrow and indicates that a strong dependency can't be fulfilled due to other scheduling rules. Identifying these broken dependencies helps you spot tasks that might be incorrectly linked, indicating potential delays or deviations from the project workflow.

See more on the Display dependencies page.

Lag time 

It is the time period calculated in days by dividing the linked tasks. Lag time has the highest priority over other dependency properties. In both ASAP and non-ASAP modes the lag time will be respected and applied regardless of other circumstances. The type of dependency determines which date (Start or End) of the source task the lag time will be added to.
