MANABU2 TEAM

21 workstreams, one context each.

Manabu2 is an LMS for rebuilding a company's talent strategy from the inside. Handing out courses changes nothing on its own, so the workstreams run all the way to the working process itself.

WHO IT IS FOR

Who Manabu2 is built for

The people learning, the people teaching, the people responsible for capability, and the people reading the numbers. They need different things, so the workstreams divide along those lines.

Learners

The people actually taking the course, and giving up time for it.

THE ROSTER

The workstreams behind Manabu2

One workstream, one objective. What follows is not a snapshot of who is busy today — it is the set of workstreams this product needs.

The learning itself

7

What a learner actually touches, and what carries the learning through to the work.

Learning experience

Make a course finishable, and never be the reason someone stops.

Learners

Course authoring

Let the people who know the work write the material in their own words.

Authors

Tests and assessment

Catch the illusion of understanding, and measure how far someone actually got.

Learners HR

Course packaging and credentials

Bundle courses into a path, and issue what finishing it is worth: a named certification or a certificate of completion.

HR Authors Learners

AI learning assistant

Explain it a different way at the point where someone is stuck, and stay until it lands.

Learners

Skills and people data

Show what people can do in terms of the work, not a list of courses attended.

HR Leads

Connecting to the process

Build the path by which what was learned reaches the procedure people follow.

HR Leads

Learning on the device

2

Learning does not only happen at a desk. These keep it going on the move.

iOS development

Let someone keep learning on iPhone and iPad, including between other things.

Learners

Android development

Deliver the same on Android, so the handset is never the reason learning stops.

Learners

Spinning it out

2

Taking the learning machinery Manabu2 has built and shipping it into other subjects. The repositories are separate; the team watching them is not.

Spin-off apps

Ship focused apps of their own — such as Wakaroute for junior high entrance exams — shaped for one subject.

Learners

Breaking it into services

Split the learning machinery into parts, so a new subject such as security training can ship quickly.

Connecting it up

1

What the screens can do should be reachable from outside tools and AI agents too.

MCP / API

Let outside tools and AI agents work with Manabu2's features and data.

Developers

Getting found, and sold

3

Building it is not enough. These carry someone from never having heard of it to using it.

SEO and content

Be findable, and say what it does before anyone has to ask.

HR Leads

PR / SNS

Keep saying, outside, what this is actually for.

HR Leads

Sales

Find the right prospects, make the case, and keep the thread alive. An agent researches and drafts; a person has the conversation.

HR Leads

Standing behind it

2

Nobody gets stuck after they start, and what they tell us turns into a fix.

Help content

Let people solve it themselves instead of waiting for support.

Learners Authors HR

CS / QA

Answer what comes in, and turn it into a fault that cannot happen twice.

Learners HR

Deciding what comes next

1

The workstream that runs before anything is built: what was asked for, read against how it is used.

Feature requests

Gather what users ask for and what usage shows is missing, and decide what gets built next.

Learners HR Authors

Holding it up

3

It stays up, it stays protected, and the billing adds up.

Server watch / log analytics

Find errors and slowness first, so nobody meets them mid-task.

Security

Check on every change that what must be protected still is.

HR

Billing

Bill what was used, correctly and on time.

THE LOOP

How one workstream moves

Every workstream turns the same way. A person sets the objective, an agent does the work, and the decision to ship comes back to a person.

See the eight steps

See how a change gets released

  1. 01
    Set the objective

    A learner, an HR lead or an instructor — who it gets better for, and how. People decide that.

  2. 02
    Open the session

    One session per workstream, started with the code conventions, the past decisions and the current numbers already in hand. A workstream that turns into a long piece of work gets a branch of its own.

  3. 03
    Build it, review it

    Changes go out small, through review and an automated test suite, onto a staging environment — and a person makes the call to put them live.

  4. 04
    Check the number

    Did they finish it, and did the work change afterwards? A completion rate on its own is not enough.

ONE AT A TIME

That is how this much stays covered

The workstreams do not all run at once — one moves at a time. Holding both the course content and the spin-offs works because one conversation only ever holds one workstream.

Instructions do not mix

Work on authoring does not queue behind issuing credentials. Each moves on its own objective.

What is shared, and what is not

Code conventions and the quality bar are the same across the whole project. What stays separate is the mission and the context around it.

Context survives

Decisions accumulate inside each workstream, so picking it up again does not start from zero.

Long ones get their own branch

When a workstream turns into a long piece of work, it moves to a branch of its own. The work is kept apart the same way the context is.

Ship small

Many small changes rather than one large one — each inside a range we can roll back.

STILL OURS

What people decide

More agents does not move the responsibility. That stays with people.

  • What we will not do

    We can do more than before. That is exactly why the decisions worth our time are the ones to decline.

  • What we promise clients

    Dates, estimates, quality. A company promises those, and a company is people.

  • What goes to production

    Review and merge. A person presses the last button.
