Remove member from board

I need Alex removed from the Product Launch board before the update meeting on Thursday morning. Confirm the board is intact, then remove Alex as a member and note in the board activity who removed them and why. After removal, mention to me if any cards lost watchers or if any automations reference Alex so I can reassign them.

Before I remove Alex from the Product Launch board, make it easy for the PM reviewing the change to approve. Show where Alex is active: list cards where Alex is a member, tasks assigned to them, and any automations that mention Alex. Highlight any cards that will lose their only member and flag recurring checklists that contain Alex’s name so the reviewer can see risk quickly.

I just deactivated Alex's account and I still see them listed on several cards and in automations. I’m worried those cards will be orphaned and automations will fail in Friday’s release. I can’t tell which automations will break and I don’t have time to check every card. What is the most reliable next step to prevent missed work and how should I communicate this to the team and to procurement if required?

Across several projects, former team members like Alex remain on important boards long after they stop working here, causing missed assignments and automation failures. I want one habit change so we stop leaking responsibility. What single operational habit should I adopt with concrete steps and a simple checklist I can enforce at offboarding to keep boards clean and automations reliable?
