Task Triage
Sort incoming work by urgency, value, risk, and dependency.
How to use this workflow
Task Triage is useful when repeated work needs a visible path from request to completion. Keep it compact: the value is in clarifying ownership, next action, and evidence, not in creating a large approval artifact.
- Capture the request without rewriting intent or hiding missing information.
- Classify the work by impact, deadline, risk, dependency, and requester expectation.
- Choose one disposition: act now, schedule, delegate, clarify, decline, or place in backlog.
- Record the owner and the next visible update so the item cannot drift silently.
- Review aging items and reclassify anything whose risk, deadline, or dependency changed.
Expected output
A completed task triage record with trigger, owner, decision, next action, and evidence.
Common failure mode
Keeping the document as a form instead of using it to make decisions visible.
Use notes
| Best trigger | Use when the work repeats, affects others, creates risk, or needs a defensible handoff. |
|---|---|
| Evidence | Keep the shortest record that proves the decision, action, owner, and result. |
| Review point | Review after incidents, repeated confusion, tool changes, ownership changes, or missed expectations. |
