Workers

Back office administration

Reconciling, filing, and checking one record against another.

AimUnderstand the administrative load a worker absorbs, and the limits it holds.

What it takes on

The work, stated plainly.

  • Checking one system against another and listing every difference
  • Filing and classifying against your own taxonomy rather than a generic one
  • Completing the routine record keeping that gets deferred when people are busy
  • Preparing the exceptions for a person, rather than guessing at them

Reserved for a screen from this worker: its queue, and an action waiting on a person.

Authority

How its authority is set.

The boundary is agreed with you when the role is written, not shipped as a default. Every worker holds these three kinds of permission and no others.

  • What it does alone

    Agreed in advance with the people who carry the risk, and kept narrow at the start.

  • What it may only propose

    Anything carrying consequence is prepared, then held until a named person approves it.

    Approved by

    Time

  • What it may never touch

    Set out when the role is written, and enforced rather than requested.
