Skopework runs your company in the open, from the yearly plan down to each person's daily checklist. Three to five priorities for the year. Every commitment gets one owner, a clear measure, and a date before it's allowed in. At month end it was done or it wasn't, and everyone can see which. Problems come up the chain as a 1-3-1: one problem, three options, one recommendation.

Skopework is a rhythm. Start with the daily and monthly parts; turn the weekly ones on when you're ready.
Each person gets a checklist for their role, with the standard for "done" on every task. Skipping a required task takes a 1-3-1 to the manager.
Self grade, what went well, what to do better. Rolls up to the manager that night.
Write what you'll do. The check makes sure it has one owner, a clear measure, and a date before it's approved.
Mark each one done or not done, write down what changes, and the month locks.
Weekly numbers on top, each with one owner and a target. This month's commitment scores below.
Same order every week: the numbers, the commitments, the issues (each one a 1-3-1), and what's waiting for approval.
One page on why the company exists and where it's going.
Three to five for the year. Parked ideas come back up when you set the next ones.
Most systems depend on people remembering the rules. Skopework refuses the action instead.
The year gets at most five. To add another, you finish or drop one first.
One problem, three options, one recommendation. A bare problem is sent back. Another leader decides, never the person who raised it.
Every commitment is checked for one named owner, a clear measure, an end date, and a priority it serves.
Once you have a second leader, the person who proposes a commitment can't be the one who approves it. That includes the owner.
A month can't close until every commitment is scored one of two ways. There is no "in progress."
Once a month is closed, its commitments and results can't be edited by anyone.
The owner's commitments are open to the whole leadership team. Everyone else sees their own job, their own numbers, and nothing above.
An idea that serves none of this year's priorities is parked with the name of the person who raised it, and comes back up when next year's priorities are set.
Skopework is built for a team small enough that the owner still knows everyone's work.
The usual advice is to split the person with the vision from the person who runs the day to day, and to hire someone for the second seat.
Skopework starts from the other view: one person can hold both, as long as the discipline lives in the system and applies to them first. The gate checks the owner's proposals the same way it checks everyone else's.
