Workflow And Governance Together

ub-workflow and ub-governance are adjacent systems. Workflow answers whether the work package is ready to progress. Governance answers whether the evidence, risk handling, exception, or decision record is strong enough.

Separation Of Concerns

Typical Combinations

Ordinary planned work

• ub-workflow chooses the lane and artifacts.
• ub-governance stays lean or inactive unless a risk question appears.

High-risk initiative

• ub-workflow owns PRD, roadmap, sprint flow, closeout, and final audit.
• ub-governance may add Level 2 evidence, ADR alignment, or claim checks.

Testing posture review

• ub-workflow may be unnecessary if the task is only review.
• ub-governance uses testing mode to assess signal quality.

Bridge Levels

Practical Rule

Start with workflow when the problem is delivery shape. Start with governance when the problem is evidence, test signal, exception handling, or decision durability. Use both when delivery and control depth are both material.
