Project Manager Brain Workflow Map

Author: HeadOffice

Status: Active

Page Type: Brain Workflow Map

Authority Level: MWMS Workflow Map

Purpose

Project Manager Brain Workflow Map defines how approved MWMS work moves through Project Manager Brain from initial direction to completed, tested, accepted and reported execution.

This Workflow Map shows how projects, workstreams, tasks, priorities, dependencies, blockers, changes, meetings, testing, versions, save points, reports and escalations connect.

It also defines how Project Manager Brain coordinates with:

  • HeadOffice Brain
  • Operations Brain
  • Kaizen
  • SIT Brain
  • specialist Brains
  • MCR
  • operational Brain websites
  • WordPress plugins
  • Supabase
  • Martyn
  • M
  • future authorised users

This page does not replace Project Manager Brain Canon, Architecture or Operating Model.

It provides the connected execution flow that operational systems must follow.

  • project is linked
  • workstream is linked where required
  • dependencies are recorded

Future AIBS Workflow Position

In future, the same core workflow may support:

  • AIBS product development
  • client implementation projects
  • automation delivery
  • project testing
  • client approval
  • project handover
  • maintenance
  • recurring optimisation

Future AIBS workflows must preserve:

  • project authority
  • client permissions
  • evidence
  • testing
  • acceptance
  • version control
  • auditability
  • internal and client visibility boundaries

Initial Workflow Limits

During the first implementation:

  • project approval remains human-controlled
  • priority approval remains human-controlled
  • meeting action approval remains human-controlled
  • critical change approval remains human-controlled
  • acceptance remains human-controlled
  • project closure remains human-controlled
  • Canon changes remain outside Project Manager Brain operational authority
  • permanent deletion remains restricted
  • AI recommendations remain advisory
  • no client workflow is active
  • no automatic financial commitment is allowed
  • no unsupported deadline is created
  • no critical project is created automatically from an unreviewed signal

Workflow Success Criteria

The Workflow Map is functioning when:

  • approved direction becomes structured work
  • projects have clear owners
  • workstreams have clear purposes
  • tasks are specific
  • priorities are explainable
  • dependencies are visible
  • blockers are visible
  • meeting actions are reviewed
  • changes propagate correctly
  • tests remain linked
  • failed tests produce corrective work
  • acceptance requires evidence
  • version changes trigger review
  • save points remain current
  • HeadOffice receives useful escalations
  • specialist Brain authority remains intact
  • Kaizen improvements become controlled work
  • SIT findings remain visible
  • the next valid action can be identified

Workflow Failure Conditions

The Workflow Map is failing when:

  • projects enter execution without approval
  • tasks enter priority without readiness
  • blocked tasks appear ready
  • dependencies remain hidden
  • changes do not update affected work
  • meeting notes alter projects without review
  • failed tests are removed or ignored
  • acceptance occurs without evidence
  • version changes do not trigger impact review
  • save points become stale
  • HeadOffice must reconstruct the project state manually
  • specialist Brains are bypassed
  • AI actions exceed authority
  • project history is lost
  • reports describe activity without required action
  • future work overwhelms the current main goal

MWMS System Change Log

Version: 1.0

Date: 2026-06-23

Author: HeadOffice

Change

Created the initial Project Manager Brain Workflow Map.

Defined the complete workflow from approved direction through project intake, approval, setup, task execution, dependency control, blocker handling, change management, meeting action review, testing, acceptance, save points, version alignment, reporting, escalation, pause, restart, cancellation and archive.

Defined coordination workflows with HeadOffice Brain, Operations Brain, Kaizen, SIT Brain and specialist Brains.

Defined Content Brain Operational Build as the first real workflow validation project.

Change Impact Declaration

This change establishes the approved execution flow for Project Manager Brain.

The change does not authorise autonomous project approval, autonomous priority approval, autonomous meeting action approval, autonomous acceptance or autonomous project closure.

The change requires operational implementations to preserve human review, specialist Brain authority, MCR source truth, testing discipline, evidence-backed completion and version alignment.

Change Log Entry Required

Yes

This change must be recorded in MWMS System Change Log 2026 06 16 To 2026 06 30.

Strategic Absorption Result

The Project Manager Brain operating model has been converted into a connected execution workflow.

MWMS now has a defined path for moving approved work from direction to structured execution, testing, acceptance, save-point control, version alignment, reporting and next-action selection without losing decisions, dependencies, ownership or authority boundaries.
