## ⚠️ Dependencies and Blockers

### Critical Dependencies
1. ~~**CI/CD Pipeline** → Must be implemented first~~

2. ~~**Base Architecture** → Required for advanced features~~
   - ~~Error handling consistency → Enables reliable webhook and event handling~~
   - ~~Service interfaces → Required for dependency injection~~
   - ~~Service container → Enables flexible service management~~

3. ~~**Input Validation** → Security prerequisite~~

### Implementation Sequence Dependencies
- ~~**Interfaces** → **Dependency Injection** → **Service Container**~~
- ~~**Base Service Classes**~~ → **API Coverage Expansion**
- ~~**CI/CD** → **Automated Testing** → **Automated Releases**~~
- ~~**Error Handling** → **Production Readiness**~~
- **API Coverage Expansion** → **Integration Tests** (Phase 5)

### Potential Blockers
- **API Documentation Access**: Full API coverage requires comprehensive understanding of Asana API specification
- **Test Environment**: Integration tests require access to Asana test accounts or sandbox
- **Breaking Changes**: Interface implementation may require breaking changes to existing API
- **Resource Constraints**: High-complexity items require significant development time
