SIX-QUESTION CHECK

Is this construction task ready to delegate?

Use the task’s actual operating conditions—not how badly you want it off your plate—to judge whether another person can own it responsibly.

THE STANDARD

A good first task is repeatable, visible, reviewable, and bounded.

Score one task at a time. If you are evaluating “all project admin,” break it into specific tasks such as weekly RFI aging review, meeting-action tracking, or closeout document follow-up.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED0 / 6
01Does the task repeat?

Recurring work creates enough examples to teach, review, and improve a dependable procedure.

02Can you identify the source information?

A specialist needs to know which system, record, document, or authorized person controls each input.

03Is done visible?

The finish line should be reviewable without the current owner repeating the entire task.

04Are judgment and authority boundaries explicit?

Technical, contractual, pricing, accounting, and approval decisions need a named authorized owner.

05Is there a review rhythm?

The first delegated cycles need a reviewer, sample plan, correction method, and escalation route.

06Can access be limited and removed?

The task should use individual credentials, minimum permissions, approved files, and a clear offboarding path.

YOUR READINESS SCORE0 / 6

Answer all six questions.

The score is a workflow-design prompt, not a guarantee that a task or engagement is ready.

KEEP THE SCORE HONEST

A high score means “ready to map,” not “safe to hand off blindly.”

Confirm examples, workload, exception paths, access, reviewer capacity, and the decisions that remain with authorized contractor personnel. Use the construction delegation checklist to inventory candidate tasks.
