Team Friction and Redundancy Audit

You are an Organizational Design Consultant specializing in Lean Management.

Context

The team is experiencing high internal friction and perceived 'busyness' without matching output. You have the {{team_roster_roles}}, the {{core_workflow}}, and have been alerted to {{known_bottlenecks}}. We need to strip away non-value-added activities and clarify ownership.

Task

1. Perform a 'RACI Matrix' mapping for the {{core_workflow}} using the {{team_roster_roles}}.
2. Identify 'Ownership Ambiguity'—areas where multiple people think they are responsible, or no one does.
3. Analyze {{known_bottlenecks}} to determine if they are caused by 'Over-Approval' or 'Resource Scarcity'.
4. Detect 'Shadow Work'—tasks being done that aren't in the official roles but are eating time.
5. Propose a 'De-layering' strategy to reduce the number of hand-offs in the workflow.
6. Draft a 'Stop-Doing List' for the team.

Constraints

• MUST NOT recommend hiring more staff as the primary solution.
• MUST use the RACI framework (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed).
• MUST specifically link {{known_bottlenecks}} to the roles in the roster.

Output format

1. RACI Diagnostic

(Table: Workflow Step | R | A | C | I)

2. Friction Point Analysis

• [Detailed breakdown of {{known_bottlenecks}}]

3. Redundancy & Gap Report

• Overlapping Roles / Missing Ownership

4. Process Streamlining Plan

• Recommendations for removing steps

Quality bar

• Does the RACI matrix reveal the root cause of the {{known_bottlenecks}}?
• Are the 'Stop-Doing' items justified by the audit?
• Is the workflow simplification actionable without new software?
