The Human-AI Partnership Framework

Where human judgment belongs

End-to-End Process & Role Accountability Specification

PCF 7.0 — Develop and Manage Human Resources · Domain-wide RACI across all 8 process groups

This page specifies the full end-to-end process flow and role accountability for all of PCF 7.0 (Develop and Manage Human Resources) — 8 process groups, 37 Level 3 processes, and 100 Level 4 activities in total. Each row shows the activity's HITL pattern and M3 (HITL Design Intent) human-involvement ratio, alongside its confirmed RACI assignment.

RACI assignment in this framework is confirmed at L3 process granularity, grounded directly in real APQC L4 activity text matched against the Organizational Role Taxonomy — never inferred from process names alone. Every L4 activity shown below inherits its parent L3's confirmed RACI rather than carrying an independently assigned one, consistent with the methodology used throughout this framework.

This is the same underlying RACI data confirmed per-stream in each Value Stream Profile — this page is the full domain in one place, for anyone who wants the whole accountability picture rather than one value stream at a time.
