01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A team member’s approved message and intended subscriber group

“Prepare the supplied update for the selected audience and publish it only after an authorized person approves the exact content and destination.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a team prepare and publish an operational message while keeping audience selection and final approval with a person.

  1. Gather the intended update

    Collect the message and the reason it needs to be shared, preserving the author’s confirmed meaning.

  2. Confirm the subscriber group

    Identify the intended audience and ask a person to resolve any uncertainty about who will receive the update.

  3. Prepare the final message

    Organize the approved information into a clear update without adding unverified claims or unnecessary details.

  4. Review content, audience, and timing

    Have an authorized teammate check the exact wording, destination group, and planned delivery time.

  5. Publish only after explicit approval

    Do not distribute the update until a reviewer approves both the final message and its audience.

  6. Confirm the outcome

    Report whether the update was published, held, or needs correction, and keep the decision available to the team.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

An approved update delivered to the intended subscriber group, or a draft held for clarification or review.

The handoff

An approved update delivered to the intended subscriber group, or a draft held for clarification or review.

Keep in mind

Publication is an external action and may reach many people. Review the complete message, recipient group, timing, and any sensitive details before approving it.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose permitted message types

Define which operational updates may use this process and what information must not be included.

Identify approved audiences

Document which subscriber groups may receive each type of update and who can select them.

Assign message reviewers

Name the people authorized to approve content, audience, and timing before publication.

Test publication safeguards

Try an approved update, an ambiguous audience, and an unapproved draft; confirm only the approved message is distributed.
