AI agent for pmo managers
Stage Gate Governance Pack Agent
Complete gate packs and recorded decisions for every gate
What it does
Projects pass through gates such as approve, plan, build and close, each needing set documents and criteria, and incomplete packs waste board time. As a gate date approaches, this agent collects the required documents and checks each against gate criteria, such as a business case refreshed within six months or signed requirements. Missing or outdated items are requested from the project manager, and the agent checks again when they arrive. It builds the gate pack for the board. The PMO manager approves the pack, and the board decides. After the meeting it records the decision, conditions and owners, and tracks each condition until met, chasing owners as due dates pass. Edge case: a project wants to skip a gate, so the agent lists the risks and needs board approval for the skip.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
