Task boundary
State exactly what is in scope and what is not.
Operations guide
A dedicated support team needs a clear definition of done.
Delegating work is not the same as making it someone else’s problem. A dependable support model spells out the tasks, the information required, the completion standard, and the route for exceptions.
Operations guide
Good candidates for dedicated support
Look for work that is recurring, important, and possible to document. That can include agreed updates, document follow-up, inbox organization, data checks, or routine customer communication.
The task should have a clear trigger and a clear destination. If the answer to either is unclear, the process needs more definition before it is delegated.
Operations guide
Questions to answer before assigning work
What information does the person need? Which system or channel contains the source of truth? What does a correct completion look like? When should the person stop and ask for direction?
These questions protect both teams. They reduce assumptions, make handoffs more useful, and help your internal team see what support is actually being provided.
Decision boundary
Identify the decisions that must go back to an authorized client contact.
Communication boundary
Define who receives updates, which format is used, and when an issue becomes urgent.
Operations guide
Keep the feedback loop open
The first version of a workflow will not capture every exception. Regular review lets both teams update instructions, remove duplicated work, and clarify unclear ownership before frustration becomes normal.
