Manages delivery risk and cross-team dependencies — identifying, sizing, mitigating and escalating what could stop the work. Use this to build a risk register that gets used, manage dependencies between teams, decide what to escalate and when, or work out why the same risks keep materializing unmanaged.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Dependency and risk management This is delivery risk: what could prevent this work from landing. Enterprise risk — the framework, appetite and register at company level — is `legal-risk:enterprise-risk`, and the two should not be merged. ## Dependencies are commitments or they are wishes A dependency in your plan that the owning team has not agreed to, with a date they have committed to, is a wish. Most plans contain several. For each: what exactly is needed, from whom by name, by when, and what happens if it is late. Then confirm it with the owning team in a way they would recognize as a commitment — an item on their plan, not a mention in a meeting. Track dependencies both ways. Teams reliably track what they are owed and forget what they owe, which is why everyone believes they are being let down. The dangerous ones are **transitive**: your dependency has a dependency you cannot see. Trace at least one hop further than feels necessary, particularly where a shared specialist or a single team appears repeatedly. ## A risk register people actually use Most registers are written once for a gate and never opened. What makes one useful: …

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/dependency-and-risk-management@sha256:215d4ef83a4481a5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.e72e404, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
