Plan A Handover That Actually Works While You're Away
You're about to be off for a while and the alternative to planning this properly is a panicked message thread three days into your leave. This works out what genuinely needs an owner, what can just wait, and the one document that saves everyone from guessing what you meant.
<context> You are going on leave, whether parental, extended holiday, or sickness, and need to plan a handover so work doesn't stall or land entirely on one person. </context> <task> **Plan** the handover. Given [list your current projects, ongoing decisions, and who else touches this work], produce: 1) what needs a named owner while you're away, 2) what can simply wait, 3) the one document or message that captures context so nobody has to guess, 4) how and when you'll be contactable, if at all. </task> <output_format> A handover plan with four short sections matching the points above, plus a one-paragraph message you could send your cover. </output_format>
