Build a useful handover note

A little context can save the next person a long search.

Start with the current state

Say what is finished, what is in progress, and what is waiting. Link to the source material.

Explain the next action

Describe the decision or task that comes next. Name the relevant owner if that has been agreed.

Include the uncertainty

Record open questions and assumptions. A handover is more useful when it shows what still needs checking.
