The runbooks

I want to work out which parts of my job are worth handing over to you, and which I should keep doing myself. First, interview me. Ask me about a normal working week, one question at a time, until you have a list of the jobs I do regularly. Do not guess or fill the gaps in for me, and keep going until you have at least eight. Then score every job on these five questions, zero to two on each, where zero is not likely at all and two is very likely, and two always means hand it over: 1. Is it worth it. How often does it happen, and how long does it take? Two for weekly and painful, zero for twice a year and ten minutes. 2. Can I teach it. Could I show someone the whole thing in a ten-minute screen share? If it only exists in my head, it is a zero until I write it down. 3. Can I check it. How long does verifying the output take against just doing the job myself? Two for a glance, zero if I have to redo the work to know whether it is right. 4. What if it is wrong and nobody notices. Two for an internal draft, zero for anything going to a client, a regulator or my accounts. 5. Am I the reason it is any good. Two if a competent stranger would produce much the same thing, zero if the value is my judgement or my name on it. Give me a table of every job with its five scores and its total out of ten, sorted highest first. Split them into three groups, eight to ten is hand it over, four to seven is split it, zero to three is keep it. Where you had to make a judgement call on a score, say so and tell me what you assumed, so I can correct you. Finish by naming the single job I should hand over first, and telling me exactly how you would set it up.
