Directed relationships
- engineering → readiness: evidence (handoff)
- readiness → security: control evidence (authority)
- readiness → owner: acceptance pack (handoff)
- security → operations: conditions (authority)
- owner → operations: release decision (handoff)
- operations → improvement: operational findings (feedback)
- improvement → engineering: prioritized change (feedback)
When to use it
Use to define evidence-based operational acceptance rather than a late-stage document handoff.
What to challenge
- Separate accountable authority from delivery execution.
- Make every important handoff directional and reviewable.
- Treat this reference pattern as a starting point, not a prescription.
Adapt it responsibly
- Rename functions to match the organization vocabulary.
- Remove elements that are genuinely out of scope.
- Validate decision rights and handoffs with accountable stakeholders.
