Advice needed on mapping complex Project dependency logic into Monday

Hi everyone

I’m currently in the middle of migrating our PMO office from a manual setup over to Monday I like the automations, but I’m hitting a bit of a wall with how to structure our columns to handle non-linear project dependencies. Specifically, I’m struggling with how to visualize ‘conditional’ milestones where Task C only starts if Task A and B meet certain criteria."

To help my team visualize the logic before we build out the boards, I’ve been using the Dependency map from https://www.projectmanagertemplate.com/product-page/dependency-map-timeline. It has the exact data architecture we need, but I’m having trouble ‘translating’ that specific layout into a Monday board without it becoming a cluttered mess of 50+ columns.

Has anyone else managed to recreate a high-level dependency map like this in Monday? Should I be looking at using the ‘Mirror’ column feature more aggressively, or is there a specific app in the marketplace that handles this better? I’d love to hear how others have transitioned from structured templates into a more fluid Monday workspace."
