The governance lifecycle defines how governed bundles progress from creation to production readiness. Each bundle moves through predefined approval stages where evidence is collected, reviewed, and approved. Stages may include policy checks, risk assessments, and ethical evaluations. Approvers review submissions, document findings, and determine whether the bundle can proceed.
You can optionally enable sequential workflows to enforce a structured, ordered progression. When enabled, each stage must be completed in sequence, enforcing required checks and approvals. This behavior can be configured in the Policy Builder.
The governance lifecycle workflow includes:
- Create governed bundles
-
Package models and artifacts into bundles for review.
- Automated evidence collection
-
Run validation checks during bundle progression without manual intervention.
- Monitoring checks
-
Respond to drift and data quality alerts from deployed models.
- Add findings to a governed bundle
-
Document review decisions, track issues, and highlight follow-up actions
- Send bundles for review
-
Submit bundles for formal approval.
- Gating in Domino Governance
-
Controls whether governed actions, such as app deployment or endpoint creation, are allowed based on approval status.
