Narrative:

I was working third local on plan weird. I coordinated with north local that his runway 32R mzv departure would go on a 270 degree heading outside my 32L-T10 departure. Who would be on a 220 degree heading. I cleared air carrier X for takeoff from 32L-T10, and told him to turn left, heading 220 degrees. I asked air carrier X to keep the turn tight and advised him that traffic would be outside him from runway 32R. I gave a relief briefing to the atcs and developmental that were plugging in. After I had unplugged, the atcs said that air carrier X did not appear to be turning to the 220 degree heading. He contacted approach control who asked them to turn the aircraft.
