receiving, via a processor, task data representative of a first task, wherein the first task is associated with a plurality of jobs;
generating, via the processor, a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising a plurality of data fields associated with a selected job of the plurality of jobs, wherein the plurality of data fields comprise a job trigger field that specifies a trigger condition for starting the selected job;
transmitting the GUI for display by a client device;
receiving a user input, via the GUI, defining a dependency relationship between the selected job and a parent job, wherein performance of the parent job generates a job output;
updating the task data to reflect the dependency relationship; and
automatically transmitting, in response to completion of the parent job and satisfaction of the trigger condition, a request to initiate the selected job using the job output.
