Operations
Dependency log
Formal definition
In operations, Dependency log refers to a register used for managing staff capacity, operational logs, and data security procedures to maintain delivery resilience.
What this actually means for you
Operations and service-delivery leads should treat Dependency log as an operating standard: track team hours, log project dependencies regularly, and maintain compliant record destruction schedules, then review it before delivery changes and risk reviews.
Example: During a planned change window, teams apply Dependency log as follows: the service manager reviews the team capacity register and approves timesheet submissions before allocating resources. They then update risk registers, issue logs, and status updates for the next cycle.
