TEAM WORK INTAKE · Workflow idea

Give a new piece of work a clear record and owner path.

Capture the title and details of a task, problem, or project request, then add it to the team’s chosen work area. Check for an existing item and verify the created record before relying on it for planning.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A team request with a title, useful details, and the intended project area

“Create a new work item from the supplied request details in the selected team project.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Records a supplied task or issue as a new item in the team’s selected project area so the work can be reviewed and followed up.

  1. Describe the work to track

    Provide a concise title and enough background for the team to understand the requested task or issue.

  2. Choose the right project area

    Confirm that the selected team project is the appropriate place for this work.

  3. Check for an existing item

    Look for a likely duplicate so the same task or issue is not needlessly recorded twice.

  4. Create the work item

    Add the reviewed title and details as a new item in the chosen project area.

  5. Verify the created record

    Check the returned reference and confirm that the item contains the information the team needs.

  6. Review any requester update

    If the requester will be notified, have a person verify the recipient and exact message before sending it externally.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A new tracked item with the supplied title and details, plus a reference or creation status for the project team.

The handoff

A new tracked item with the supplied title and details, plus a reference or creation status for the project team.

Keep in mind

The item reflects supplied information and does not verify the request or decide its priority. Check for duplicates, confirm the project and details, and review any external update before sending it to a requester.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the team project

Select the project area where new requests should be recorded and confirm who may add work there.

Agree on the information to capture

Define the title and supporting details the team needs to understand and review a new item.

Set duplicate and ownership practices

Decide how likely duplicates are checked and who reviews, prioritizes, or assigns new work.

Test with a sample request

Check the project selection, saved details, and any requester communication before relying on live requests.
