VP Engineering Quickstart

Use this workflow to turn repository risk into a reviewable operating rhythm.

1. Start with 5-20 production repositories. Pick services with customer impact, unclear ownership, or active compliance pressure.
2. Review the executive dashboard. Focus on highest-risk repos, fastest worsening repos, ownerless packages, and policy drift.
3. Assign one owner per risk theme. Ownership gaps, suppression debt, policy drift, and audit evidence should each have an accountable team.
4. Enable weekly digest recipients. Digest recipients must verify email before reports are sent.
5. Export evidence for customer or board review. Use signed audit exports when the question is "prove what changed and who reviewed it."
