Description

Cycles can occur, if two or more decisions will be connected each other. In this case, the successful execution of the decision making process can be blocked. It’s essential to avoid cycles in depedency flows.

With a mutual dependency of decisions,the determining of an output can be blocked. Therefor it’s recommended to use a hierarchical structure for decisions making processes.
