into accountable work.

ONE CONNECTED HANDOFF

First, keep the request.

Register the request to create its connected project record.

The next step appears when the current one is complete.

Local example. No client records are created or sent.

What this includes
Assignments & schedules
Connect a responsible person, the next stage and the agreed schedule. Include dispatch or field work when the operation requires it.
Approvals & escalation
Define who can approve a transition, what must be present and where blocked work goes next.
Consistent handoffs
Prevent skipped steps and conflicting updates. Keep decisions and supporting documents attached to the work.

Reporting & accountability

Know the state.
See the story.

A useful system explains what happened, who was responsible and what needs attention. Its reports come from the underlying records.
