The dependency matrix<\/strong> visually shows the dependencies between programmes, from programmes to projects and between projects.\r\n\r\nThe dependency matrix is available on the \"Programme<\/a>programme<\/a> and the \"Contact<\/a>organisation<\/a> view pages. On the view programme page the dependency matrix will show all of the sub-programmes and all of the projects for the selected programme. On the view organisation page the dependency matrix will include all of the programmes and projects for that organisation.\r\n\r\nFigure 1 below shows an example of a dependency matrix at the organisation veiw page.\r\n

Figure 1 – Dependency matrix<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Columns and rows<\/h4>\r\nThe matrix shows a list of programmes and project down the left-hand side and across the top. If you select the \"Edit<\/a>pencil icon at the column’s programme or project name, you can mark changes to that programme or project. The intersection of a column and a row represents the dependency from the programme or project in the row to the programme or project in the column, i.e. from the left to the top.\r\n

Matrix cells<\/h4>\r\nIf there is no dependency between a particular row and column then the intersection will be blank. You can click on the blank cell to add a new dependency<\/a> for that particular row and column.\r\n\r\nIf a dependency has been defined previously for a particular row and column then the intersecting cell will show a 2×2 traffic light and a number representing the percentage of impact changes to the row will have on that column. If you click on the cell you will be able to edit<\/a> that particular dependency.\r\n\r\nThe diagonal is greyed out as these entries would represent the dependencies of programmes or projects onto themselves.\r\n

Traffic lights<\/h4>\r\nThe traffic light represents the change flags for that dependency, i.e. which of the four impact areas have changed:\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\n

Colours<\/h4>\r\nThe colours in the traffic light represents:\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\r\n
