Well. How do you delegate work for an incident or change ?
In my understanding, tickets are assigned to groups and assignees. If there i no assignee, the members of the group are responsible to take care of such tickets.
The first thing an analyst , as a member of the group , should do, is to fill in himself to the assignee field, so that others of the group can see, that someone is already working on this ticket. If an assignee can foresee, that he is not able to fulfill the work, he should remove himself from the assignee field, so the ticket is on the group queue again. He can of course, also ask his colleague, it he can transfer his tickets to his colleague.
If an assignee is not able to fulfill his work unforeseeable, there should be some kind of the group manager, who can re-assign these tickets.
So, in general, the trick is, to work with group responsibilities rather than with personalized responsibilities.
The same can work with workflow tasks.
Some customers support this setup additionally with specific status, like "transferred", "acknowledged", and "work-in-progress", to even better handle responsibilities, or make the situation of a ticket more obvious.
Hope this helps a bit

Subject: No delegate option in workflow
Hi Members
There is no ootb function available to delegate the classic workflow approval. How can we manage the situation when the workflow approver(direct manager) is on leave without contacting to administrator to change the assignee.
Please advise
