Operations Setup Acceleration

Supported a professional services team onboarding new projects with limited ops bandwidth and frequent handoffs. Manual setup and hidden dependencies kept kickoff slow and inconsistent.

Failure Mode

  • Kickoff steps varied by owner; no enforced checklist or review gate.
  • Dependencies lived in individual inboxes and spreadsheets, so handoffs broke when staff shifted.
  • Manual tool setup required repeat configuration, delaying start and creating drift.

Intervention

Diagnosis preceded build, and scope plus billing standards were documented as the entry gate. The kickoff workflow was mapped, a single owner-backed checklist was codified, and shared templates plus automations were built for repeatable setup.

Verification & Handoff

Verification: checklist completion and peer review against acceptance criteria were required before handoff.

  • Verification: checklist completion and peer review confirmed the enforced setup path met the acceptance criteria.
  • Constraint removed: manual kickoff steps and hidden dependencies were replaced with a single governed sequence and named owners.
  • Handoff: the team received the setup playbook, shared templates, and an ownership map to keep transitions governed.
  • What's now true: kickoff runs through one controlled path with visible dependencies and enforced gates.
