There are two basic types of dependencies:

- **[Strong dependencies](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2212269057)** → have a scheduling impact.
- **[Soft dependencies](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2212529406)**** **→ serve a purely informational purpose and don't have any scheduling impact
- [External links](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/2212235976) → External links show dependencies between tasks within the scope of different Boxes.
