Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Create a DAG for scheduling a software development project with the following tasks: Design, Code, Test, Deploy. Assume Design must be completed before Code, and Code must be completed before Test. How would you represent this graphically?

💡 Hint: Draw the tasks and the dependencies between them.

Question 2

Explain how the presence of a cycle affects the workflow in a project management scenario. What strategies can be employed to prevent cycles in task dependencies?

💡 Hint: Consider what happens when one task relies on another that also depends back on the first.
