The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for providing a weak dependency linking two tasks of a workflow of task. In one aspect, there is provided a computer-implemented method. The method receives, from a user interface, an indication representing a link between a first task and a second task. The link being a weak dependency linking the first and second task. The weak dependency representing that one or more tasks may be inserted between the first and second tasks. The first and second tasks including the link representing the weak dependency may be provided to the user interface. The link presented at the user interface to enable identification of the weak dependency. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.
