From task list to handover

SIDENOTE / WORKING DESK

A little structure.
From start to handover.

A fictional outline of a separately agreed remote support arrangement.

Write the general task, intended deliverable and practical reason for the work.

Identify who supplies information, approves the work and makes any business decision.

Confirm hours, deadlines, updates and any required approval points in the actual scope.

Keep the agreed deliverables, records, access review and next-step arrangements connected.

NEXT NOTE / A USEFUL START

The useful work.
A defined place.

Tell the desk about the general tasks, deadlines and approvals you want to discuss. Passwords and confidential records belong in a separately agreed appropriate channel.
