An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a team keep up with activity in selected software projects and bring items needing attention to a human reviewer.

  1. Select projects and events for follow-up

    Agree which project activity is useful for the team to review.

  2. Show the event with its project context

    Keep the available event details and project reference together for the reviewer.

  3. Check what happened

    Have a teammate open the original project information and confirm the meaning of the event.

  4. Decide whether the team needs to respond

    Let the responsible owner determine whether to acknowledge, investigate, or assign follow-up.

  5. Approve consequential changes

    Require a person to approve any project update, outside message, or other consequential response before it is made.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

An internal, reviewable project event with a clear owner path and no automatic outside communication or project change.

The handoff

An internal, reviewable project event with a clear owner path and no automatic outside communication or project change.

Keep in mind

Project events may be partial or require interpretation. Confirm the event in its original context before changing project information, making a release decision, or contacting anyone outside the team.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose projects and activity types

List the projects and event categories the team should include in review.

Set an appropriate internal destination

Choose a team location where project activity can be reviewed by authorized colleagues.

Assign event owners

Decide who reviews each kind of event and who confirms whether follow-up is needed.

Test event visibility and exceptions

Check routine and unclear events, and verify that any proposed outside action stays pending until a person approves it.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
