Pairs well with [[📂 Index|Concept Handles]]. # CPORT I'm not sure of the origin of this framework - I should probably figure that out so I can appropriately attribute it - but it's effectively a **checklist for effective delegation**. This is particularly useful for working with more junior people. - **C**ontext - what's the context? What's the background information - how does this fit with a strategy, etc. - **P**urpose - what's the intention? Why are we doing this bit of work - how does it meet the need that arose from the context; what is our *goal*, regardless of the exact method we'll use - **O**utcome - what are we expecting? Format, quality, etc. - establish success/acceptance criteria. - **R**esources - what resources are needed, permitted, or expected? Time is a big one - set expectations for how long you think this *should* take, or when they should check in with you; how long should they "bash their head against the wall"? - **T**ime - what's the deadline? Overall, the intention here is to give **ownership** of a task to someone. Telling people exactly how to do something - without context, and without room for improvisation - is just micromanagement, which sucks for everyone (outside of niche edge cases like serious underperformance). This is a checklist to equip people with everything they need **to make decisions about their work** - when is it done, where can I / should I vary from the initial specifications, how long I should spend on it, when I should reach out for help, and so on.
