Where you are
You coordinate a four-person consulting team. Wednesday includes a client-report review and a sealed-folder handoff to a courier.
Escenario 6 · Rol A
quien coordina el equipo
Wednesday has an office handoff and a report review
Esta ficha es solo tuya. La otra persona tiene objetivos y datos distintos. No intercambien pantallas hasta terminar.
Practical and fair. An analyst requests one remote day. They start. About 10 turns · 8 minutes.
Your screen only. Don't show it. Identify which tasks require a person in the office and which need the analyst’s knowledge.
Tu información
Lo que sabes y lo que necesitas
You want
You want both deadlines protected while allowing remote work if every physical and review task has an owner.
You can't
- Leave the sealed folder unattended for courier pickup.
- Ask a new employee to approve financial figures alone.
- Move Thursday’s client report deadline.
Only you know
- The courier will arrive between noon and 12:30 and requires a staff signature.
- Leo can sign for the folder, but he needs it prepared and labeled before Wednesday.
- You had planned for Sara to review the financial table with the analyst at 2:00 p.m.
If you finish with nothing
The remote day stays unclear, the courier may leave without the folder and the report reaches Thursday without a qualified review.

Closing criterion
Close when both people record the same seven details:
- The remote-work period and technician window.
- Who prepares the sealed folder and when.
- Who signs for the courier and the pickup window.
- The replacement financial reviewer.
- The video-review time and decision log.
- The Thursday report deadline.
- The backup if remote review fails.
Success: You distinguish the physical handoff from the financial review, protect the client deadline and do not delegate approval to a new employee. Every task has an owner, time and backup.

- ¿Qué tareas exigían presencia física y cuáles exigían conocimiento especializado?
- ¿Por qué el nuevo empleado podía observar pero no aprobar solo?
- ¿Cómo cambió el reparto cuando Sara se enfermó?
