During the process of sequencing activities for a construction project, the project manager has identified dependencies that are based on known best practices within the building industry. These dependencies are commonly referred to as:
Discretionary dependencies (often referred to as preferred, preferential or soft dependencies) are established based on knowledge of best practices within a particular application area or on some aspect of the project where a specific sequence is desired, although there may be other acceptable sequences. They are differentiated from mandatory dependencies (also known as hard logic) which are inherent in the nature of the work being done.
