    What we prepare togetherThe relevant resources are available for the tasks that use them.

  2. 02

    Agree the responsibilities

    Confirm assigned team member and receiving colleague for this method, then choose the people eligible to receive its work.

    What we prepare togetherThe method names who contributes, reviews and receives the next work.

  3. 03

    Walk through the selected route

    Choose the task, eligible recipients and deadline, then walk through the actual response fields.

    What we prepare togetherYour team sees the response and the resulting next step before extending the method.

Your questions

Prepare the method for your team

What stays with the recorded response?

The response for this occurrence retains accepted / declined with reason, first session planned and conversation opened. It belongs to the work being reviewed, rather than replacing a different occurrence's record.

Which materials do we need to bring?

Bring available sessions and connection request. We use those choices to prepare the working context, then check that each task opens the material it needs.

How do people receive the prepared work?

Select the prepared task and the relevant recipients when assigning work. Making a playbook available to a group and giving a person a task are separate setup choices.

What is the outcome for the wider workflow?

An accepted relationship with a kickoff; a declined request closes as declined and the mentee may choose again.
