A handover should let another person continue a task without reconstructing the whole project from scattered messages. Build it around their first working session.
- Summarize the goal and current state in a few sentences. Separate finished work, work in progress and decisions still waiting for an answer.
- List the current files and where they are kept. Confirm that the new owner has appropriate access; provide an access request route instead of sharing passwords.
- Describe the next action, its owner and any real deadline. Name blockers and the person who can resolve each one, without promising their availability.
- Include a small example of an acceptable result. Ask the new owner to explain their first step and identify any missing information.
Update the handover after that check and record who owns the task now. Keep background details available without burying the immediate action.
