Projects are considered investments in a portfolio. Other types of investments are assets, applications, and products. You can indicate dependency relationships that exist between investments in a portfolio using the Project: Properties: Dependencies page. A dependency can occur when a task in one investment must be completed before a task in another investment can begin. Or, for example, it could be that project A must be cancelled if a certain application runs significantly over budget.
Dependency information is used when creating portfolio scenarios. You can view dependency connections from a portfolio's Scenario: Efficient Frontier page within scenarios that include data from the investments you identify on the Project: Properties: Dependencies page.
Note: See the Portfolio Management User Guide for more information.
