Dependency graph
A dependency graph is a way of representing the elements of a problem or project as nodes connected by influence, dependency, or consequence relationships.
Definition
The dependency graph helps you see which elements are conditions for others, where locks arise, and what effects changing one node might have. In practice, it can be used to plan projects, analyze problems, organize knowledge and recognize critical points. It does not solve the problem itself, but improves the visibility of the structure.

Practice and life
List the elements of the problem as nodes, connect them with arrows and mark three places that, if changed, could unlock the rest of the system.
Common misunderstanding
It is a mistake to create a graph that is too detailed and cannot be used. The map is supposed to help you make decisions, not become another chaos.
