What is a handover document?

A handover document is a comprehensive record of all the important information necessary for the successful transfer of responsibilities from one team or individual to another. The document typically includes details about ongoing projects, pending tasks, contact information for key stakeholders, protocols, procedures, and any other relevant information that the incoming party needs to know in order to effectively carry out their role. The purpose of a handover document is to ensure that there is a smooth transition of knowledge and skills from the outgoing team or individual to the incoming team or individual, avoiding any gaps in information or processes that could lead to confusion or mistakes.
