Skippable and parallel steps​

You can define steps than can be skipped and that can be executed in parallel. In case you set a step to 'parallel' it means that it can be executed as soon as all its dependencies as resolved. A step depends, in such case, on another step only if it references a value that comes from a previous step. If there's no such dependency, it means that the step can be run as soon as the execution starts.
