To Leon, IT lead · Fri 9:00 This week: 31 access requests done, 18 minutes on average. 4 seats taken back from leavers. 2 requests outside the rules are waiting for you: the scanner app for two warehouse leads. Approve both? Request to access 4 days **20 minutes** Access requests in the IT queue 3 in 10 tickets **Handled inside IT's rules** Days a new account manager couldn't quote 3 **0** **How it works** The rules are IT's: who gets which app, what needs a manager, and what needs IT. The agent follows them, asks the right person, and takes back seats from people who have left. One agent carries the work across every department, reading and writing to one company-wide memory. Every change is tested on your own past work before it goes live. Leon approves the unusual ones in one tap, with the request and the rule attached. Leavers lose access the day they go. Leon now spends his mornings on the warehouse Wi-Fi everyone complains about. ## It works in the tools IT already runs.
