⚡Quick answer -

Escalating an issue is quick and straightforward:

1. Open the specific task card that needs attention.
2. Go to the comments section and @ tag the Design member.
3. Add a brief one-liner explaining why you need intervention (e.g., “@MemberName, escalating this because we are blocked on the final copy and the dev deadline is tomorrow.”). The responsible lead is notified immediately and will step in to unblock the task and get it resolved.

When should I use this guide?

Use it whenever a Design task is blocked, delayed, or requires urgent intervention and you need the Design Lead to jump in fast—no complicated steps required.

1. Step-by-step escalation process

1. Open the specific task card that needs attention.
2. Go to the comments section and @ tag the Design member.
3. Add a brief one-liner explaining why you need intervention.
4. Example: “@MemberName, escalating this because we are blocked on the final copy and the dev deadline is tomorrow.”
5. Once tagged, the responsible lead will be notified immediately and will step in to unblock the task and get it resolved.

2. Why NOT send a separate direct message?

💡 Pro Tip: Always escalate directly inside the task card’s comments rather than sending a separate direct message. This ensures the Lead has all the context, files, and history right in front of them to make a quick decision.

3. Expected outcome

After you @ tag the Design member inside the task card, the lead receives an instant notification, reviews the full task history, and takes action to unblock or complete the work.
