Guideline
Minimum Viable Governance Structure Guideline
The library references multiple governance forums (AI Governance Council, Enterprise Risk Committee, Board Risk Committee, Architecture Review Board, Change Advisory Board, Data Council, Reliability Council, Capacity Council, and others). A small or mid-sized organization cannot staff all of these as discrete bodies. This guideline shows how an adopting organization can implement the library's governance content at three maturity tiers, consolidating forums where appropriate and naming clear seats for the responsibilities the library assigns.
