Responsibilities
Know who owns what.
A responsibility is a thing that must happen regardless of who currently performs it: the monthly management report, supplier onboarding, the security review. It has an owner, a backup, a rhythm and a way of showing it was done.
A first-class object, not a task
Tasks are finished. Responsibilities continue. Treating them as the same thing is why handovers miss the recurring work — it never appeared on a list because it was never a ticket.
Exactly one owner
Shared ownership is the most reliable way to produce something owned by nobody. One owner, one backup, and contributors named separately.
The gaps are the output
Responsibilities with no owner, with no backup, or concentrated on one person are the list this whole structure exists to produce.
