Review and Approval Workflow v3.0

PM360 documents follow a multi-stage approval workflow with anti-rubber-stamp guardrails.

Submitting for Approval

1. When the draft is ready, click Submit for Approval
2. Select approvers — sequential (turn-taking) or parallel (all at once)
3. Approvers receive the document in their AI Review Queue

Reviewer Actions

Approvers can:

• Validate — approve the document
• Request Revision — send back to the author with comments
• Reject — reject with rationale

Anti-Rubber-Stamp Guardrails

Before approving or rejecting, the reviewer must type at least 30 characters in the pre-assessment field. This ensures every approval decision is deliberate, not ceremonial.

After Approval

• On full approval, the document is locked as the canonical version
• Further edits create a new version that requires re-approval
• Approved documents can be exported as PDF or DOCX

Workflow Breadcrumb

A visual breadcrumb at the top of the document shows the SDLC chain:

Draft → Review → Approved → Tests Generated → Executed

Each completed step is clickable, linking backward to the relevant page.
