What is PM Master - Project & Program Management?

PM Master is an enforced project and program management operating system for OpenClaw. It supports waterfall, agile, iteration, and hybrid methodologies while using project.yaml as the single source of truth for project state, deliverables, metrics, governance, and checkpoints.

Unlike advisory-only Openclaw Skills, PM Master produces files, applies lifecycle gates, validates artifacts, dispatches domain experts, and blocks delivery when quality, approval, confidentiality, or consistency requirements are not met. It can generate charters, WBS structures, schedules, RAID logs, status reports, EVM metrics, stage-gate reviews, DOCX documents, and program rollups.

PM Master - Project & Program Management Use Cases

Initialize a new technical project or program with a schema-versioned project.yaml source of truth.
Create charters, stakeholder plans, RACI matrices, communication plans, requirements, quality plans, and kickoff materials.
Build waterfall or hybrid WBS structures, schedules, Gantt views, critical-path analysis, and SOW-level plans.
Generate agile backlogs, sprint plans, definitions of done, burndown-oriented reports, and iteration plans.
Manage risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies, changes, RAID logs, and calibrated 5x5 risk registers.
Monitor operational delivery with control patrols, earned value management, CPI/SPI metrics, and escalation workflows.
Govern stage transitions from planning through review, baseline, operational execution, and closeout.
Coordinate multiple sub-agents and domain experts for SOW-driven WBS decomposition.
Produce formal Markdown or DOCX project documents for internal and external stakeholders.
Prepare outbound email communications with mandatory human approval, sponsor co-signing, allowlists, audit records, and confidentiality scanning.

How PM Master - Project & Program Management Works

Locate or create the project.yaml source of truth, migrate legacy schemas when necessary, and confirm the current checkpoint.
Classify the request across project or program type, methodology, lifecycle phase, and intent, then persist those dimensions in project.yaml.
Load the applicable methodology and phase references, including program or hybrid guidance where relevant.
Dispatch planner and domain-expert agents to decompose SOW-level work into compliant leaf packages with roles, owners, estimates, dependencies, and definitions of done.
Select a direct, parallel team, or fork execution mode based on task complexity, independence, and context requirements.
Prepare structured data files and render each deliverable through the appropriate template and script rather than hand-writing final artifacts.
Run forced analysis such as WBS and schedule generation, schedule health, EVM, control-engine checks, or execution-driver patrols according to the methodology and phase.
Persist artifact references, metrics, and checkpoints back into project.yaml while maintaining bottom-up authoring for sub-projects and read-only rollups for programs.
Validate every sub-agent report and run consistency_check.py before delivery; failures block completion until corrected.
Apply lifecycle and stage gates, freeze baselines before execution, and require explicit approval for hard transitions and formal external communications.
Consolidate the final artifact index, optionally export Markdown to DOCX, run confidentiality controls, and report deliverables with key metrics.

PM Master - Project & Program Management Setup

Install or copy the PM Master skill directory into the OpenClaw skills location and ensure its scripts, templates, references, and config.yaml are available.
Confirm Python and the required YAML dependency are available. The implementation uses its maintained source scripts first, then the renderer directly, with PyYAML as the dependency fallback.

python --version
python -m pip install pyyaml

Review config.yaml before use. Configure execution.subagent_mode as team, agent, or fork; set methodology and quality-gate options; and define stage-gate behavior.
Keep outbound email disabled unless an administrator has configured a trusted backend, email.approvers, and email.sponsor_approvers. Do not enable external communication without an approval policy.
Configure confidentiality tokens and scanning rules under confidentiality.* in config.yaml. Sensitive values must be supplied through configuration and must not be hardcoded in scripts.
Initialize a project or program from the skill directory:

python scripts/init_project.py "Example Platform Program" --type project --methodology hybrid
python scripts/project_state.py show --project /workspace/example-platform/project.yaml

For an existing project, migrate and inspect the state before generating artifacts:

python scripts/project_state.py migrate --project /workspace/example-platform/project.yaml
python scripts/project_state.py show --project /workspace/example-platform/project.yaml

Run the relevant workflow scripts from the skill directory and finish with the mandatory quality gate:

python scripts/consistency_check.py --project /workspace/example-platform/project.yaml

For formal documents, render the validated Markdown output separately with render_docx.py. For email, create a draft first and send only through comm_send.py after an authorized approval and sponsor co-sign are recorded.

PM Master - Project & Program Management Data Schema & Taxonomy

The skill uses a file-centered, schema-driven model with project.yaml as the authoritative record.

Data area	Organization and purpose
`project.yaml`	Single source of truth containing project or program identity, methodology, phase, intent, lifecycle checkpoint, artifacts, WBS, metrics, governance, and configuration references. Schema version 2 adds `_checkpoint`.
Four dimensions	`type`, `methodology`, `phase`, and `intent` determine which references, templates, scripts, and deliverables are required.
`_checkpoint`	Records workflow progress and prevents illegal lifecycle skips. States progress through planning, review, baselined, operational, and closed.
`wbs`	Expert-decomposed work packages with IDs, domains, roles, owners, numeric estimates, dependencies, and definitions of done. Leaf packages must respect `control.granularity_threshold`, normally 10 person-days.
`artifacts`	Index of generated deliverables and their paths, including charters, schedules, RAID logs, reports, plans, closure documents, and rollups.
`metrics`	Operational and earned-value data such as planned value, earned value, actual cost, CPI, SPI, baseline information, and control timestamps.
`governance`	Stage-gate settings, approver identities, communications audit records, approvals, and lifecycle controls. Self-approval is forbidden.
`config.yaml`	Runtime policies for execution backends, quality gates, stage gates, email, confidentiality scanning, and control cadence.
`<slug>_data.yaml`	Intermediate structured data prepared for each rendered deliverable.
Markdown outputs	Template-rendered project documents generated by `render.py`; final delivery requires `consistency_check.py` exit 0.
DOCX outputs	Optional formal documents generated from validated Markdown by `render_docx.py`.
Dispatch and reports	`dispatch.py` creates an idempotent expert dispatch plan; sub-agents return contract-based JSON reports validated by `subagent_check.py`.
Program rollups	Program views consolidate sub-project milestones, health, blockers, benefits, and dependencies through scripted rollup tools rather than hand-edited parallel sources.
Communication audit	Approved outbound messages are recorded under `governance.communications`; email remains off by default.
Confidentiality results	`confidentiality_check.py` scans text and binary content for configured sensitive tokens before publication.

The taxonomy separates project versus program scope, waterfall versus agile or hybrid methodology, lifecycle phase, and user intent. This prevents incompatible templates, such as mixing waterfall WBS and stage gates with agile-only backlog structures.

PM Master - Project & Program Management Advanced Features
