Abstract: Managing cross-project dependencies is provided. A list of Information Technology (IT) projects and their corresponding dependent IT projects is generated. A cross-project dependency risk chart having an X-axis based on IT project release dates and a Y-axis based on IT project positions is generated. Each IT project, along with its corresponding set of dependent IT projects from the list, is plotted on the X-axis of the cross-project dependency risk chart based on determined project release dates and on the Y-axis of the cross-project dependency risk chart based on determined project positions. A line representing cross-project dependency is inserted between each dependent IT project and an IT project that a respective dependent IT project depends on with an arrow pointing to the IT project that the respective dependent IT project depends on. The cross-project dependency risk chart is outputted on a display device.
