Automation continuity is pulling against current-access governance.
Project managers need approval handoffs to keep moving, while administrators need every Automation run to reflect live permissions.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My launch review was waiting on an approval task nobody received, and leadership asked why the project looked on track.”
Binh Myint · Enterprise Project Manager
Runs cross-functional approval projects where Automations create the next owner’s task.
What is at stake
Approval tasks are disappearing after Automation owners lose access, leaving active projects falsely on track. You must weigh uninterrupted handoffs against the governance cost of letting old ownership persist.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- handoff continuity vs live permission enforcement
- legacy compatibility vs durable platform rules
- fast remediation vs verified impact
- administrator control vs project momentum
