Hand over the current work clearly
WhenWhen someone else will continue the project.
Share the current artifact, what is complete and the unresolved questions. Name what the other person would take over, and get their agreement before treating the transfer as complete.
Why it works
Pass along the work and the way into it.
Start tiny
Gather the current artifact and one open question.
What you’ll notice
The next person knows what they are accepting.
When it slips
If they have not accepted the handover, keep responsibility explicit and agree on another arrangement.
