Solution concept
Move a project forward with the right information.
A proposed document intake and approval workflow for a team coordinating several client projects.
Solution concepts for common business needs. Each design outlines the workflow, human review, and measures to agree before a pilot.
PROJECT OPERATIONS
The scenario
Designed for project teams receiving briefs, attachments, and revisions through email and shared folders, with a coordinator checking each package before assignment.
Where work gets stuck
Files arrive without context, revisions are confused with originals, and work starts before required details are confirmed.
The workflow challenge
Open each attachment, compare it with a checklist, send a follow-up, and manually update the project tracker.
The proposed approach
Assemble a project brief, highlight incomplete items, and prepare an approved task handoff.
WORKFLOW
How the workflow would work
- 01
Gather authorized materials
Bring the agreed email or folder inputs into one intake record, preserving links to the original files.
- 02
Check the project brief
Extract the scoped fields and compare them with a checklist. Unreadable files and conflicting versions stay visible.
- 03
Resolve the exceptions
A coordinator confirms requirements, handles missing information, and chooses the accepted version.
- 04
Prepare project tasks
After approval, create the agreed tasks in one project tool and record the handoff status.
What the project would include
- A project intake checklist and field map
- A prototype for the agreed document types
- One task-system integration and exception queue
- Access, failure-recovery, and handover instructions
How we would evaluate it
Establish a baseline first. Agree targets and measure the pilot before making any performance claim.
- 01Time spent preparing a complete project brief
- 02Missing requirements detected before work starts
- 03Corrections required after a task handoff
