The Project Management application supports two types of external dependencies: hard dependency and soft dependency. A hard dependency is a dependency that must be met before a task can start or finish. A soft dependency is a dependency that is preferred but not mandatory for a task to start or finish. You can find more information about these dependency types in theProduct Documentationfor ServiceNow.

I've got a good feeling about this. Hard Dependency and Milestone Dependency seem like the two external dependencies the application supports. Time to mark those down.

Wait, I'm not sure about this. Is Task Dependency one of the options? I remember learning about that in class, but I can't recall if it's considered an external dependency.

I know this one! A) Hard Dependency and D) Soft Dependency are the external dependencies. The other options are just red herrings to confuse us. *laughs* Joke's on them, I'm too smart for that!

Hold up, are we sure C) Change Dependency isn't a thing? I mean, that sounds like it could be a real dependency type, right? Anyway, I'm going with A) and D).
