How to manage distributed services
A method for operations managers, without attributing results to a tool.

A step-by-step method
1. Define the service unit
Use a shared reference for site, customer, period and scope. Avoid different names across planning, work reports and administration.
2. Assign decisions
Clarify who prepares, performs, reviews and receives. Every issue needs an owner and closure criteria.
3. Agree minimum evidence
Decide on descriptions, hours, materials or validation as appropriate. Do not collect data nobody uses or unnecessary personal information.
4. Review exceptions
Separate access problems, absences, scope changes and recording errors: each requires a different decision.
5. Close with a clear handover
Distinguish recorded, reviewed and billable. Check what is transferred through an action and what requires manual intervention.
