Add docs/README.md as central entry point for OctoAcme project management docs

[Copilot]

No central README existed in docs/ to orient new contributors or link to the eight process documents already present.

Changes

• docs/README.md (new)
  • 4-paragraph overview covering: lightweight lifecycle (Initiation → Planning → Execution → Release → Close/Retro), key roles (PM, PdM, Developers, QA, Stakeholders), communication cadence + escalation + Risk Register, and QA/CI practices (unit/integration tests, smoke tests, linting/security CI, release checklist, rollback/incident response, retro → backlog loop)
  • Docs Index table with relative links to all 8 existing docs
  • Footer note prompting contributors to keep the README current as processes evolve

Original prompt

Create a new README in the docs/ folder that serves as the entry point for OctoAcme Project Management Docs, per issue #2.

Repository: HarshitMCT/skills-scale-institutional-knowledge-using-copilot-spaces
Base branch: main

Background

There are multiple process documents in docs/, but no central README that summarizes the overall OctoAcme project management approach and links to each doc.

Tasks

1. Add a new file docs/README.md.
2. The README must:
   • Start with a clear title (e.g., "OctoAcme Project Management Docs").
   • Contain a brief 3–4 paragraph overview of OctoAcme’s project management processes, grounded in the existing docs. Incorporate the following key points from the previously created summary:
     • Lightweight lifecycle: Initiation → Planning → Execution → Release → Close/Retrospective.
     • Key roles/personas: Project Manager (PM), Product Manager (PdM), Developers, QA/Testing, Stakeholders.
     • Communication cadence + escalation approach; single source of truth; risk register.
     • Quality assurance practices: unit/integration tests, smoke tests for critical flows, CI checks (linting, security scanning), manual QA as needed, release checklist and rollback/incident response, retrospectives tracked into backlog.
   • Include a “Docs Index” section with direct relative links to all docs currently in docs/:
     • octoacme-project-management-overview.md
     • octoacme-project-initiation.md
     • octoacme-project-planning.md
     • octoacme-execution-and-tracking.md
     • octoacme-risks-and-communication.md
     • octoacme-release-and-deployment.md
     • octoacme-retrospective-and-continuous-improvement.md
     • octoacme-roles-and-personas.md
   • Mention that the README should be updated as processes evolve.
3. Ensure content aligns with the existing process docs and improves discoverability/onboarding.
