# delegation

The intentional assignment of work to another person with context, authority, and a clear result.

Delegation begins with the outcome, not the task list. State the purpose, deadline, source materials, limits, review point, and escalation path. Woven Legal’s published material frames delegation as a way for attorneys to reclaim time while keeping work moving.
