Dependencies are the relationships between requirements that indicate that one requirement is contingent on another requirement. Dependencies can affect the feasibility, value, and risk of the requirements, and therefore, they should be taken into account when prioritizing the requirements. The business analyst should identify and document the dependencies between the requirements, and analyze how they impact the project scope, schedule, and budget. The business analyst should also communicate the dependencies to the business owner and other stakeholders, and help them to prioritize the requirements based on the dependencies and the business objectives.
