Governance: ownership and visibility
Source: deck slides 3–4 · WPP Pilot assessment | Risks #1, #7, #11
Legend: Today = Wrike capability | Confirm = setup/evidence | Pilot = proposed WPP process. See the overview for all labels.
#1 Governance & Accountability#
Agents lack review or ownership.
Wrike AI Agents
- Today: The Space registry lists agents, + user type permissions control who can create them.
- Pilot: WPP assigns a named owner to every Pilot agent.
Wrike MCP
- Pilot: WPP keeps a list of approved MCP connections and their owners, so each integration has someone responsible for its setup and use.
#7 Monitoring & Visibility#
Agents, owners or actions are unseen.
Wrike AI Agents
- Today: The Space registry shows agents and configuration; audit reports record actions.
- Pilot: WPP manually reviews the Pilot inventory and activity.
Wrike MCP
- Pilot: WPP tracks which MCP connections are in use and reviews their activity.
- Confirm: Check what activity the middleware actually makes visible.
#11 Agent Sprawl#
Duplicate or unmanaged agents.
Wrike AI Agents
- Today: The registry makes agents in each Space visible.
- Pilot: Review that list for duplicates and agents that no longer have a clear purpose or owner.
Wrike MCP
MCP connections are tracked separately under risk #21, with an approved purpose and a named owner.
Screenshots in the deck (slide 4)#

Other elements: a "+ Agent" button, a "How to use" link and a feedback prompt ("How was your experience?"). The dates for the third row are hidden behind the second screenshot, and the "Last edited date" of the second row is partly hidden.
User permissions for AI#
Callout: "user permissions for AI". Screenshot of User types (tabs: Full license, Lite license, Limited license, Free license; button "+ Create User type"). The category list includes General, Sharing, Folders and Projects, Tasks and Subtasks, Time tracking, Integrations, Whiteboards, Collaborate, Templates, Automatic calculations, Reports, Users and Files. The AI permissions are outlined in red, with columns Admin, AI Admin, Regular User and a fourth column that is cut off (it begins "Exter…").

The deck does not discuss "Workmates". The toggles show the demo account's settings, not a WPP recommendation.
