How to hand over a project
Handovers fail on access and tacit knowledge, not on intent. Start the access early and let the new owner drive before you leave.
What matters here
- List what the project does and why
- Transfer access before the last day
- Document the recurring tasks and their timing
- Record the known problems and workarounds
- Do a live session and let them drive
The written part
Purpose, current state, key decisions, recurring maintenance and open risks. Write it for someone competent who has never seen the project, because that is exactly who will read it.
Access is the usual failure
Accounts, repositories, certificates, billing and vendor logins. Start this two weeks early, because something always requires an email to support and a wait.
Let them drive
In the walkthrough, they click and you narrate. Watching someone else use the system reveals the steps you do automatically and would never have written down.
