DEPRECATED: This SOP has been superseded by SC Task Management Workspace Setup SOP, which is the single canonical reference for configuring the full SC ClickUp workspace (workspace-level config, Client Delivery space, SC Operations space, status template
sc-status-01, and a migration appendix for moving to a different task-management system). All content below is retained for historical context only; do not act on it.
ClickUp SC Operations Space Setup SOP
1. Purpose & Scope
This SOP defines the setup and configuration of the SC Operations ClickUp space for Symphony Core internal work that is not client-deliverable.
In scope:
- Agency platform configuration (GHL sub-account setup, pipeline creation, automation builds)
- Internal tools and infrastructure work tracked outside GitHub Issues
- Documentation projects requiring task coordination
- Sales prospecting and pipeline tasks tracked outside GHL
Out of scope:
- Client deliverables -- use the Client_Delivery space
- General business operations (invoicing, scheduling) -- those are handled in Google Workspace
- Software development tasks -- use GitHub Issues in the relevant repository
This space complements (not replaces) the Client_Delivery space. The two spaces share the same status model and list pattern for consistency, but use different custom fields appropriate to their domains.
2. Prerequisites
- ClickUp workspace admin access
- Familiarity with the SC Task Data Standard
- Context: The ClickUp Scope Reduction PRD reduced ClickUp to a single Client_Delivery space. This SOP re-introduces a second space narrowly scoped to SC internal operations.
3. Space Configuration
3.1 Create the Space
- Open ClickUp workspace sidebar
- Click + Create Space
- Name: SC Operations
- Visibility: Private (team members added individually)
3.2 Status Sets
Statuses are defined canonically in SC Task Data Standard §1. ClickUp list configuration mirrors that model. Status names are lowercase to match the live workspace convention.
active-work list:
| Status | Color | Type |
|---|---|---|
| to do | Gray | Open |
| in progress | Blue | Open |
| blocked | Red | Open |
| complete | Green | Closed |
completed list:
| Status | Color | Type |
|---|---|---|
| complete | Green | Closed |
archive list:
| Status | Color | Type |
|---|---|---|
| archived | Gray | Closed |
| cancelled | Red | Closed |
reference list:
| Status | Color | Type |
|---|---|---|
| active | Green | Open |
| outdated | Gray | Closed |
There is no review status. Validation is self-attested at complete via the Evidence bullet on acceptance criteria; client-facing deliverables additionally use an AM-review subtask (see Markdown Task File to ClickUp SOP §3c). Post-hoc sampling by the Account Manager (see SC Contractor Task Quality Review Standard §Post-hoc sampling) is the accountability mechanism.
3.3 Custom Fields (Space-Level)
Create these fields at the space level so they are available on all lists.
| Field | Type | Options / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Work Domain | Dropdown | Agency Platform, Internal Tools, Documentation, Infrastructure, Sales |
| Sub-Account | Short Text | GHL location ID when applicable; leave blank for non-GHL work |
Fields intentionally excluded (these belong to Client_Delivery only):
- Client
- Delivery Role
- Billable
3.4 Default Views
Create these views at the space level:
| View | Type | Group By | Filter |
|---|---|---|---|
| All Active Work | Board | Status | Status not in (complete) |
| By Domain | Board | Work Domain | Status not in (cancelled, archived) |
| My Tasks | List | Due Date | Assignee = Me |
4. Folder & List Setup
4.1 Initial Structure
SC Operations (Space)
|-- Agency Platform (Folder)
| |-- active-work (List)
| +-- completed (List)
|-- Sales (Folder)
| |-- active-work (List)
| +-- completed (List)
|-- [additional folders created as needed]
|-- archive (List, folderless)
+-- reference (List, folderless)
4.2 Create the Agency Platform Folder
- Inside SC Operations, click + New Folder
- Name: Agency Platform
- Create two lists inside the folder:
- active-work -- uses active-work status set
- completed -- uses completed status set
4.3 Create Folderless Lists
These sit at the space root (not inside any folder):
- archive -- uses archive status set. Receives tasks that are done and no longer need visibility.
- reference -- uses reference status set. Holds standing reference items (e.g., recurring checklists, environment notes).
4.4 Adding Future Folders
When a new work domain requires its own task tracking:
- Create a new folder named after the domain (e.g., Internal Tools)
- Add active-work and completed lists inside it
- Use the same status sets defined in Section 3.2
- No changes needed to archive or reference -- they are shared across all domains
5. Task Standards
5.1 Naming Convention
Use the pattern: [verb]-[component]-[item]
Examples:
configure-agency-prospecting-pipelinemigrate-dns-records-to-cloudflaredocument-email-forwarding-setup
5.2 Description Format
All tasks should follow the SC Operations Task Template. The template defines:
- Business Context (why this matters)
- Scope (verifiable deliverables)
- Reference Documents (links to SOPs/guides)
- Notes (constraints, dependencies)
5.3 Required Fields
Every task must have:
- Title (following naming convention)
- Work Domain (dropdown)
- Priority
- Assignee — exactly one. See Markdown Task File to ClickUp SOP §3d for the single-assignee rule that applies to all spaces. Workspace-level enforcement (target): disable the "Multiple Assignees" ClickApp.
- Description (following template structure)
Sub-Account is required only when the task involves a specific GHL location.
6. Permissions
| Role | Access Level |
|---|---|
| Admin | Full access to all lists, settings, and automations |
| Team Member | Create and edit own tasks in active-work and completed lists |
| Contractor | Create and edit own tasks in active-work and completed lists |
| Archive access | Read-only for non-admins |
| Reference access | Read-only for non-admins |
7. Maintenance
Weekly Quality Sampling
Every Monday, the Account Manager samples a slice of the previous week's closed tickets per SC Contractor Task Quality Review Standard §Post-hoc sampling. Defects get the quality:escaped tag and either reopen or open a linked follow-up per the AM's judgment.
Monthly Archive Cycle
On the first business day of each month:
- Move all tasks in
completestatus older than 30 days from completed lists to the archive list - Review
blockedtasks -- resolve or cancel if stale - Verify Work Domain dropdown values are still relevant
Quarterly Folder Review
Every quarter, review folder structure:
- Are there domains with enough tasks to warrant a new folder?
- Are any folders empty or unused? Remove if so.
- Update this SOP if the folder structure changes.
8. Reference Documents
- SC Task Data Standard -- universal task fields and status model
- SC Operations Task Template -- description format for non-client tasks
- ClickUp Scope Reduction PRD -- context on why ClickUp is limited to two spaces
