- In short
- Some sub-tasks must complete before others can begin, such as verification before action or retrieval before synthesis. Decomposition must capture these dependencies explicitly, not just list the sub-tasks that exist. Sub-tasks without a dependency on each other are candidates for parallel execution; dependent sub-tasks must be sequenced. Getting dependency order wrong at decomposition produces an architecture that has to be redesigned once the omission surfaces.
