Predictive delivery governance prototype

Dependency & Release Governance Intelligence

Sample workspace for spotting dependency drift, release-gate exposure, owner gaps, escalation status, and launch-readiness decisions before they become blockers.

Engineering Dependency Map

Risk, owner, impact, unblock date

Dependency	Teams	Status	Risk	Owner	Release impact
API contract freeze Due Sep 6	Platform Services → Product Integrations	Blocked	High	Platform PM	Blocks integration test entry for three downstream teams.
Identity entitlement model Due Sep 9	Identity → Admin Experience	Needs owner	High	Unassigned	Launch readiness cannot pass without permission test evidence.
Reporting event schema Due Sep 13	Data Platform → Analytics	Open	Medium	Data TPM	May delay executive adoption dashboard by one sprint.
Security control evidence Due Sep 17	Security → Release Governance	Blocked	High	Security Lead	Required before go/no-go review and customer pilot expansion.
Feature flag cleanup Due Sep 20	Platform Services → Release Ops	On track	Low	Release PM	Needed for operational handoff but not launch blocking.
Data retention exception review Due Sep 23	Data Platform → Security	Needs owner	Medium	Unassigned	Could create audit follow-up if unresolved before readiness review.

Governance Summary

AI-ready PMO pattern

Three dependencies require executive visibility this week: API contract freeze, entitlement ownership, and security evidence readiness.

Escalate missing entitlement owner Resolve by Sep 2 to protect design freeze.
Hold security evidence review Confirm required artifacts before Sep 17 gate.
Update dependency aging report Add owner and unblock date to every high-risk row.
