Someone has to remember the next stepA reminder, approval, update, or customer message.
Status lives in one person’s inboxThe team has to ask what happened or what comes next.
The exceptions are clearMost cases follow a pattern, and unusual ones can be flagged.

Bring one frustrating task.

We will map the handoffs, identify the smallest useful build, and give you a clear scope before work starts.
