Gives the team and team lead real-time visibility into who is available, what each person is working on, and when someone will be out of office.
This SOP establishes guidelines for using the Concourse Team Availability Tracker, an internal tool designed to give the team and team lead real-time visibility into who is available, what each person is working on, and when someone will be out of office. Because all Concourse bids are time-sensitive, this tool is critical for ensuring proper coverage and preventing missed deadlines.
This SOP applies to all Concourse review team members. Every team member is required to register, maintain their status, and log OOO dates in advance.
Open the tracker link. If your browser remembers you, the tracker will load your status page directly. If prompted, click Sign In and enter your work email.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Available | You are active and available to take on tasks or support the team. |
| In a Meeting | You are currently in a meeting and temporarily unavailable. |
| On Break | You are on a short break and will return shortly. |
| Off | You have finished your shift for the day. |
| OOO | You are out of office for the day or multiple days. |
When updating your status, you may also select your current task from the dropdown: Kirkland/BidPortal, or Email Triage/Finding Documents. This helps the team lead see what each person is working on at any given time.
The Team Board tab shows the full team's current status in real time. It updates automatically every few seconds; no manual refresh needed. The board displays:
All Concourse bids are time-sensitive. If a team member is out and coverage has not been arranged, a bid deadline can be missed. The OOO Schedule tab exists specifically to prevent this. By logging OOO dates in advance, Aya can plan task coverage ahead of time and ensure no gaps in bid reviews.
Aya will receive an email notification automatically. The tracker will also automatically set your status to OOO on the scheduled date; you do not need to do anything extra on that day.
All submitted OOO requests are listed below the form with their status: Upcoming, Active, or Past. Active OOO entries cannot be deleted. Past entries can be removed to keep the list clean.
The Daily Summary tab provides a log of each team member's activity for a selected date. It shows:
A This Week view is also available showing total hours, days active, total breaks, and OOO days for the current week.
The Resources tab provides quick access to all team SOPs and reference documents. Click any card to open the document directly in Google Docs. Current resources include:
Resources are managed by Aya via the Admin panel. New SOPs will be added here as they are created.
The Concerns tab allows any team member to submit a concern, suggestion, or issue directly to Aya. Submissions are confidential and go straight to Aya's email.
