1
Standardize before volume exposes the gaps
Growth magnifies inconsistent handoffs. Define required inputs, milestone ownership, status language, and escalation before adding more files.
2
Design around the real pipeline
A capacity plan should consider submitted files, product complexity, peaks, pull-through, internal support, and management time—not just an average file count.
3
Create backup without ambiguity
Document access, handoff, status, and continuity expectations so overflow support strengthens the existing team.
