description	Sequence post as a dependency chain keyed off picture lock, so the delivery date rests on the critical path. Reach for this on a post plan.

Skill: Sequence the post pipeline

Starting color before the edit locks is rework.

Step 1 — Map the dependencies

Editorial → VFX → color → sound → conform → deliver (§3 #3).

Step 2 — Protect picture lock

Set the lock as the gate finishing waits on (§3 #5).

Step 3 — Find the critical path

Identify what sets the delivery date.

Step 4 — Schedule to deliver

Sequence finishing to the delivery spec and date (§3 #6).

Output

A post-pipeline dependency map, a protected lock, the critical path, and a delivery schedule.
