OPERATIONS REVIEW · Workflow idea

Turn unfinished tasks, original due dates, proposed revised dates, and stale indicators into a clear starting point—not an unchecked decision.

For an authorized purpose, prepare a review list of overdue tasks and proposed date updates for their owners. Moving a due date can conceal a missed commitment or affect dependencies, and an old status may be wrong. Preserve the original date, confirm task state and owner, respect working calendars, and require each responsible person or manager to approve date changes and stale flags. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.
