Workflow Dependency path planner

Reveals blocked work, critical dependencies, and the shortest viable path for tasks, stages, dependencies, and capacity; it is designed to turn work status into coordinated action and accountable ownership. Expanding a dependency updates the critical path and ownership summary. The workflow operations variant is specialized for movement and prioritization must be keyboard accessible and reversible. Users can turn work status into coordinated action and accountable ownership while understanding the current state, available choices, and resulting consequence.

Implementation field notes

Use workflow dependency path planner confidently.

The preview and source are only the starting point. Use these notes to decide where the component fits, preserve its accessibility contract, and verify the adapted result.

Good fit for

  • Workflow interfaces
  • Release train
  • Reveals blocked work, critical dependencies, and the shortest viable path for tasks, stages, dependencies, and capacity

This workflow interfaces pattern works best when its purpose is clear in the surrounding page hierarchy.

Accessibility contract

  • The primary purpose and current state remain available as text and do not depend on color, motion, pointer position, or visual geometry.
  • Every interaction has keyboard equivalence, visible focus, predictable Escape behavior where applicable, and appropriately scoped status announcements.
  • Reduced-motion, 200% zoom, long-content, narrow-container, and forced-color behavior are part of the implementation acceptance criteria.

Integration plan

  1. Copy the standalone HTML and scoped CSS into an isolated page.
  2. Adapt primary signal, secondary signal, layered surface, primary text through the Inspector.
  3. Connect the defensive JavaScript, then test every control with a keyboard.
  4. Review the result at 375, 768, 1024, and 1440 pixels before shipping.
