A front office worker at a small private school is overwhelmed by undefined, ever-expanding responsibilities and a lack of process adherence, leading to overtime and boundary violations.

Workarounds Described

• Uses a self-created responsibility matrix in a spreadsheet, but no one adheres to it
• Writes SOPs and one-pagers manually to document processes, but they are not respected
• Maintains a newsletter submission system via email with clear guidelines, but staff ignore them

Implied Software Gaps

• Enforced role definitions and automated task routing to prevent scope creep
• Digital SOP repository with version control and mandatory sign-off for staff
• Automated newsletter submission workflow that blocks late entries and enforces formatting
