Manage a full project

Roles, reviews and accountability

Give each decision a clear owner, even when AI assists with the work.

Sponsors and project leads

Assign people to decisions

AI assistance changes how work is produced; it does not remove responsibility for business decisions, data access or release approval. Name reviewers early and agree what they need to see. The roles below are project responsibilities, not a promise that every deployment uses these exact role names.

Make a review actionable

Give the reviewer the relevant version, a short description of the change, the evidence to inspect and a specific decision to make. Record approval, requested changes or a deferral with the reason. Unresolved comments need owners and follow-up dates. Silence is not a useful acceptance record.

Report progress in terms of outcomes

Distinguish work that is planned, implemented, under review, tested, accepted and released. A task count helps the team manage activity, but the sponsor needs to know which user outcomes work and what prevents the next milestone. Keep dependencies and risks visible beside that summary.
