Your goal

Identify overlapping and missing responsibilities, then record who does what and by when.

When two people draft the same material and nobody checks it, work may be duplicated or missed. Agree on each role’s scope and handover deadline, not just the name of its owner.

Answers and explanations

Show answers and explanations

Practice questions

1. What was the original role problem?

Answer: 두 사람이 초안을 쓰고 확인 담당은 없었어요.

The overlap in drafting and gap in checking needed adjustment.

  • 모든 확인과 발송이 끝났어요. — This is still an allocation plan.
  • 아무도 초안을 쓰지 않았어요. — Both Jun and Mina were drafting.

2. Who checks dates and location in the model?

Answer: 미나

Mina agreed to handle the check.

  • 준 — Jun drafts.
  • 모든 참가자 — This was not assigned to all participants.

3. What fits 초안 작성 범위까지 맡겠습니다?

Answer: 초안 작성이 담당 범위예요.

It sets the scope of responsibility.

  • 최종 발송도 자동으로 맡아요. — Additional roles require agreement.
  • 초안을 이미 보냈어요. — It is a future commitment.

4. Who sends the model’s final version, and by when?

Answer: 아키 · 화요일 오후 3시

Aki sends it by three.

  • 준 · 화요일 오후 1시 — One is Jun’s draft deadline.
  • 미나 · 화요일 오후 2시 — Two is Mina’s check deadline.

Learning check

1. What does Yuna handle in the new agreement?

Answer: 신청 안내 초안 작성

Yuna writes the draft.

  • 장소·접수번호 확인만 — Jun checks those details.
  • 최종 발송만 — Aki sends the final version.

2. What is Yuna’s new deadline?

Answer: 수요일 낮 12시

The draft is handed over by noon.

  • 수요일 오후 1시 — One is Jun’s checking deadline.
  • 수요일 오후 2시 — Two is Aki’s sending deadline.

3. What is the scope of Jun’s check?

Answer: 장소와 접수번호

The agreement covers those two items.

  • 참가자들의 개인 일정 — Personal schedules are outside the instruction.
  • 모든 문장의 문체와 내용 — Full text editing was not assigned.

4. Who must send the final notice by 2 p.m. Wednesday?

Answer: 아키

Aki is the agreed sender.

  • 준과 유나 모두 따로 — Do not introduce duplicate sending.
  • 수신자 — The recipient is not the sender.

5. What if full proofreading is also needed from Jun?

Answer: 추가 범위와 가능한 기한을 다시 협의해요.

An expanded scope needs another agreement.

  • 확인 담당이므로 자동으로 추가해요. — The existing role does not authorize extra work.
  • 이미 교정이 끝났다고 기록해요. — No completion is recorded.

6. What belongs together in the work-allocation table?

Answer: 업무·담당·범위·기한

Record what is assigned, its scope and deadline.

  • 끝났다는 표시만 — This table describes future responsibilities.
  • 담당자 이름만 — A name alone gives neither scope nor deadline.

Example answers

Written responses are examples. Other wording can also meet the same conditions.

1. State Yuna’s task and deadline.

유나는 수요일 낮 열두 시까지 신청 안내 초안 작성을 맡겠습니다.

유나가 수요일 낮 12시까지 신청 안내 초안을 작성합니다.

준은 장소와 접수번호를 확인하는 범위까지 맡고 수요일 오후 한 시까지 마치겠습니다.

준이 수요일 오후 1시까지 장소와 접수번호 확인을 맡겠습니다.

4. Explain why Yuna and Jun no longer draft separately.

역할이 겹치지 않도록 유나는 작성하고 준은 확인하기로 했기 때문입니다.

중복 작업을 줄이기 위해 유나는 초안 작성, 준은 확인을 맡기로 했습니다.

Resolves both duplication and the missing check.

5. Ask politely whether Jun can also proofread the full text.

준 씨, 전체 문장 교정도 맡을 수 있는지 다시 협의해도 될까요?

전체 문장 교정까지 맡으실 수 있을까요? 기한도 다시 확인하고 싶어요.

Treat this as a new request, not an existing assignment.

Draft — owner and deadline

유나는 수요일 낮 열두 시까지 신청 안내 초안을 작성합니다.

Check — owner, scope, deadline

준은 수요일 오후 한 시까지 장소와 접수번호를 확인합니다.
