Layout Pattern

Network / Dependency Map

Graph of interconnected nodes. Exposes hidden dependencies and critical paths.

How to Use It

When you need to show that component A depends on B, C, and D - and B depends on E and F - a network diagram beats a list. Nodes are entities (systems, teams, workflows), edges are dependencies. Highlight critical paths or bottlenecks with color. Keep to 10-20 nodes - dense graphs lose meaning at a glance. Label nodes, label only the most important edges. Use for system architecture, risk analysis, and change impact reviews.
