Cross-industry PM operating patterns for less friction, more clarity, more progress. A collaborative lab for sharing reusable operating patterns across industries, tools, and team environments.
Authority Catalog: Governed index of interconnected repos documenting patterns, frameworks, agents, and validations for enterprise AI adoption.
| Domain | Repo | Purpose | Key Artifacts | Validations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knowledge Foundation | Cross-Industry PM Playbook | Canonical PM patterns | Playbooks, decision logs | PMP, PMI Agile Metrics |
| Agent Implementations | Innovation-In-Action | Live AI agents incl. PM Risk Assessor | Prompt libraries, risk assessors | Microsoft Foundry FastTrack |
| Thought Leadership | Speaking-Resources | Published talks & workshops | PMI decks, abstracts | AgileCon 2024, DBJ Awards |
| Execution Tools | Operational-Excellence-Toolkit | Metrics, dashboards, toolkits | Empathy maps, risk profilers | 25% real program gains |
| AI Evolution | Innovation-In-Action: AI Evolution | 12-month journey from pattern recognition to production AI delivery | Replicable delivery framework, tool-agnostic phases, museum legacy tool | Azure AI Foundry, Pickaxe, GEMS Camp |
Most PM toolkits share templates. Few share operating patterns—how teams think, decide, and collaborate across constraints.
This space makes invisible dynamics visible, supports hybrid human + AI environments, and shares portable practices that also inform my What AI Coaching Really Means work.
The AI Evolution narrative documents the operational path behind this catalog — from cross-industry pattern recognition (June 2025) to Azure AI Foundry agent scaffolding (January 2026) to production AI delivery for a museum modernization project (May 2026).
That journey produced the replicable delivery framework at the core of this toolkit:
| Phase | What It Requires | Tool Used |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–7: Discovery | Structured/unstructured data + organizational context | Tool-agnostic |
| Weeks 1–7: Prompt design | Knowledge base architecture + prompting patterns | Tool-agnostic |
| Weeks 1–7: Human-in-the-loop validation | Governance framework + stakeholder alignment | Tool-agnostic |
| Weeks 8–9: Demo | Rapid prototyping in selected platform | Any tool |
| Weeks 11–12: Production | Finalization + governance sign-off | Any tool |
The tool is interchangeable. The framework is not.
