# handoff

The transfer of work, context, and responsibility from one person or stage to another.

A handoff should answer what is done, what remains, what matters, and who owns the next step. Put that information in the matter system instead of relying on memory or a private inbox. A short handoff template can prevent rework when a person is away or leaves. Woven Legal’s homepage identifies processes that stay when people leave as a desired outcome.
