Project and work handovers
Project handovers that keep the project moving.
When someone hands over a project or a piece of work and stays in the organisation, Handover Pro maps the project, captures what only they know and shares access with the person taking over.
What goes wrong
The same problems, every time.
Records in too many places
Plans, budgets and decisions spread across sites, libraries and private folders.
The why is never written down
What was agreed, what was tried, and what to do next lives in one person's head.
Risks go quiet
Open issues and decisions slip between the old owner and the new one.
Stakeholders feel the change
People who relied on the old owner find out by accident.
The interview
Questions written for this kind of handover.
Alongside a question for every gap the map finds, Handover Pro asks questions like these. The person answers in their own words, and every answer can be cited in the document.
- Where does the work stand today, and what is due next?
- Where are the plan, budget, decisions and other records for this work kept?
- What open risks, issues or decisions should the new owner know about?
- Who has a stake in this work, and how do they like to be kept informed?
- What would you do next on this work, if it were still yours?
Step by step

Shared first, tidied later.
Access is shared, not taken: the new owner gets access too, and the person handing over keeps theirs during the overlap. They keep read access to their own handover and its package afterwards.
For PMOs and delivery teams
Every project handover follows the same stages and ends in the same kind of sealed record, so the PMO can see where each one stands and auditors see one consistent format.
