01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A request from an authorized teammate to run a defined operations job

“Confirm the requested job and its permitted options, obtain any required approval, and make the outcome available to the responsible teammate.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Organizes requests to run defined operations jobs and helps the responsible team review what happened afterward.

  1. Confirm the requester and purpose

    Check that the request comes from an authorized teammate and that its operational purpose is clear.

  2. Select a defined operations job

    Match the request to a job the team has already reviewed and documented.

  3. Check permitted options

    Confirm that any selected scope or options follow the team’s rules; send uncertain choices to an operations owner.

  4. Get approval before starting

    Have the responsible person approve the exact job and choices when the operation requires review.

  5. Review the reported outcome

    Check the available completion information and raise errors or unexpected results with the operations team.

  6. Record the request and decision

    Keep the requester, approved operation, outcome, and any follow-up together for team review.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A recorded job outcome for the authorized request, or a clear hold when the requested operation or its options need review.

The handoff

A recorded job outcome for the authorized request, or a clear hold when the requested operation or its options need review.

Keep in mind

Running an operations job may affect business systems. Limit requests to approved work, verify any options with a responsible person, and review the reported outcome before relying on it.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Document approved operations jobs

List the jobs teammates may request, what each one is intended to do, and who may request it.

Define allowed choices and approvals

Record permitted options and identify operations that need an additional person to approve them.

Assign an operations reviewer

Choose who handles unclear requests, unexpected outcomes, and requests outside the documented scope.

Test routine and held requests

Review an approved request, an invalid choice, and a request that needs an operations owner’s decision.
