What is an agentic lifecycle dashboard?

It’s a Chaos board that tracks every automation from intake to retirement with metrics, owners, and risk status. Execs can see pipeline health in one glance.

How do you build the dashboard in Chaos?

Create columns for discovery, pilot, scale, and retired. Attach experiment reviews, KPI snapshots, and compliance sign-offs. Automations move cards as statuses update.

How do you keep the dashboard trustworthy?

Schedule monthly reviews, reconcile metrics with finance, and ensure risks flow into the compliance roadmap. Gartner highlights governance as critical to avoid “shadow AI”.^[1]^
