A small business as a state machine.

Project management is not a board. It's a graph of work items, each moving through states your team agreed on, sometimes blocked by another item, sometimes unblocked by a mentor.

Workflows your team can read out loud.

Every project chooses a workflow — a list of states and the transitions allowed between them. No magic columns. No untouchable defaults.

  • Active — your team is on it now
  • Queued — agreed-on, waiting
  • Mentor / review — outside eyes on it
  • Shipped — into the network

Run the diagram.

Start with a project. Define your states. Invite the team — and a mentor when the work outruns what you've shipped before.
