Agree Authority and Support When Delegating Work
Delegation requires clarity about the work, decision authority, and circumstances requiring consultation. The delegator still needs to provide information and decisions when needed.
Agree completion criteria and available time together. Progress reviews should support the outcome without prescribing every working detail.
Specify the Output and Authority
For an event page, define required information and publication date. Distinguish authority to edit wording from approval of pricing changes, and clarify publication rights.
Atlassian’s roles exercise makes responsibilities explicit. (Atlassian: Roles and responsibilities)
Provide assets, existing material, and access. Agree triggers for consultation, such as missing information or expected budget overruns.
For less experienced owners, arrange a review of an early output and time to discuss their reasoning.
Review the Result and Adjust Future Delegation
Review the output and where support was needed. Update which decisions still need approval and which can be delegated next time.
Check publication authority before releasing external information. Publish useful service details separately from internal responsibility records.
