Don’t haunt your teammates.

Turn the “ok so basically it’s mostly done” message into a one-screen card that says what’s finished, what’s stuck, what to leave alone, and what to do first.

Build my card

Tell the next person everything

Write one item per line. Specific beats short: name the ticket, file, server, or customer.

Done

Finished and verified. Say how you know.

Stuck

What’s blocked, and on whom or what.

Don’t touch

Fragile things and why.

First thing to do

One action. The very first one.
Risk if nothing happens:
Ghost-proof score: 0

Before and after

The left side is the message most handoffs turn into. Paste your own to compare, or leave it and we’ll imitate you.

Before: the Slack message
# shift-handoff

Count the questions the next person has to ask. Now look at the card.

After: the Handoffs card
