German term or phrase: Anordnungsbeziehung (AOB)
eine Anordnungsbeziehung stellt eine logische Verbindung zwischen zwei Vorgängen dar.

In Sciform they talk about sucessor processes within aproject which can only start once its precursor process has ended. This is themost common type of Anordnungsbeziehung. It is therefor not quite a "hierarchical relationship" - or is it??

sequencing relationship
Explanation:
See my reference entry for additional context.

"The company’s project management software will also develop a visual chart, known as a Gantt Chart, showing graphically how the schedule will map out. Sequencing the activities will be crucial as relationships of activities will have to be kept in mind.

There are four sequencing relationship types:

Finish to Start: The successor can’t start before the predecessor has finished.
Start to Start: The successor can’t start before the predecessor has started.
Finish to Finish: The successor can’t finish before the predecessor has finished.
Start to Finish: The successor can’t finish before the predecessor has started."

This is from a similar product. I don't think there's any right or wrong answer here - we just need to find a term that describes it well.

Vorgänge durch Anordnungsbeziehungen gliedern
Eine Anordnungsbeziehung ist die Verbindung zwischen zwei oder mehreren Vorgängen, mit der die Abhängigkeiten und Beschränku
ngen untereinander definiert werden.
PS Next bietet drei Typen von Anordnungsbeziehungen (AOB):
• Ende-Anfang (EA): Der Nachfolgervorgang kann erst beginnen, wenn der Vorgängervorgang abgeschlossen ist. Dies ist der verbreiteste Typ von AOBs und er ist standardmäßig bei der Erstellung einer AOB gewählt.
• Anfang-Anfang (AA): Der Nachfolgervorgang kann jederzeit beginnen, nachdem der Vorgängervorgang gestartet wurde.
• Ende-Ende (EE): Der Nachfolgervorgang kann erst beendet werden, nachdem der Vorgängervorgang abgeschlossen wurde.
Der Nachfolgervorgang kann jederzeit ohne Einschränkung beginnen, d.h. vor oder nach dem Vorgängervorgang.
