+---
+
+# Project Management
+
+This page is the AzureLocal overlay for the HCS
+[project-management standard](https://platform.hybridsolutions.cloud/standards/project-management/).
+Only AzureLocal-specific differences are defined here.
+
+## Authoritative source
+
+GitHub Issues and the AzureLocal organization Project are the primary intake and work-tracking
+surfaces. Issues may synchronize into HCS Azure DevOps under the existing split-source rules, but
+operators author and update GitHub-native issue data in GitHub.
+
+The reusable PMO board is a read-only snapshot of those issues. It MUST NOT store browser edits or
+write changes back to GitHub. Every displayed item links to its authoritative issue.
+
+## Scope selection
+
+AzureLocal uses the per-repository project model unless `registry.yaml` explicitly assigns a
+shared project. A board SHOULD represent one repository. A cross-repository portfolio board MAY
+use the organization Project when its configuration names that scope explicitly.
+
+## Publication
+
+Generated snapshots stay under ignored `.artifacts/pmo/`. Scheduled automation publishes an
+authenticated workflow artifact. Claude or Codex publication remains owner-only or
+workspace-restricted unless the repository owner explicitly approves public access.
+
+See also [Repository Management](repository-management.md) and the HCS
+[work-item sync standard](https://platform.hybridsolutions.cloud/standards/work-item-sync/).

 Testing in AzureLocal is centralized. The frameworks, schemas, and canonical test data live in [`AzureLocal/platform/testing/`](https://github.com/AzureLocal/platform/tree/main/testing) and are consumed by every product repo. This standard defines **what each repo must test** and **which framework primitives it must use** — it does not re-describe the frameworks themselves (those have their own docs under [`docs/maproom/`](https://github.com/AzureLocal/platform/tree/main/docs/maproom) and [`docs/trailhead/`](https://github.com/AzureLocal/platform/tree/main/docs/trailhead) once Phase 2 ships).
 
 !!! info "Phase status"
-    Phase 1 (this document) establishes the **standard**. Phase 2 ships the **framework** (`AzureLocal.Maproom` PowerShell module, fixture + IIC schemas, TRAILHEAD harness). Until Phase 2 lands, repos continue to reference [`azurelocal-S2DCartographer/tests/maproom/`](https://github.com/AzureLocal/azurelocal-S2DCartographer/tree/main/tests/maproom) as the interim canonical implementation.
