Support Work Quality with Completion Criteria and Contingencies
Maintain work quality through explicit completion criteria and responses to illness or absence. Account for capacity changes in the work system.
Specify reference materials, checks, and handover scope. Consider results together with sustainable workload.
Agree on What Completion Means
Specify deliverables, required checks, and recipients. GOV.UK describes acceptance criteria as outcomes used to assess completion. (GOV.UK: User stories)
Distinguish preference differences from missing requirements.
Plan for Illness and Absence
Decide substitutes, postponable tasks, and work that should stop. Avoid a backup process dependent on the absent person.
Document procedures and contacts and assign access according to actual work.
Maintain Quality through Rework and Workload Records
Record revision reasons and time spent. Repeated gaps call for revised criteria or staffing.
Keep public service descriptions aligned with actual scope and intake capacity.
