Add a Dependency to a Project

Identify relationships between projects using project dependencies. Dependencies are used in portfolio budget planning to ensure all dependent projects are included in a budget planning scenario. The project dependencies supported in the application are Depends On and Supports.

Depends On: A project depends on work being performed in another project. For example, Project A depends on some aspect of Project B and cannot be completed without that work being performed.

Supports: A project is supporting another project. For example, Project B is supporting Project A.
