# A task handoff brief the next owner can use

Illustrative planning brief; no automatic product import.

Illustrative case: an engineer hands a partially built export feature to a colleague before leave. The happy path works; date filtering is unfinished.

## Decision

Have the incoming owner reproduce the current state before taking responsibility for the remaining work.

## Owned work

- Capture the working state
  - Owner role: Outgoing owner
  - Acceptance evidence: A test-data recipe and revision reference reproduce the successful unfiltered export.
- Bound the remaining work
  - Owner role: Outgoing owner
  - Acceptance evidence: The brief states that date filtering and its boundary test remain unfinished.
- Confirm receipt
  - Owner role: Incoming owner
  - Acceptance evidence: Reproduces the export and records the first action or a missing dependency.

## Workflow

1. Write what works and what does not, with references the recipient can open.
2. List pending decisions separately from implementation tasks.
3. Ask the recipient to acknowledge the first reproducible step before the handoff closes.

## Judgment

Exclude credentials and customer records from handoff examples. Reference approved access channels instead.


## Filled illustrative decision

The incoming engineer reproduces a download with an invented dataset, then confirms that changing the date filter has no effect. The handoff note therefore records download behavior as demonstrated and date filtering as unfinished. The receiving owner accepts the remaining investigation after identifying the unresolved date rule.


## Workflow questions

### Is a recording enough?

A recording can help, but the recipient still needs reproducible state and searchable remaining-work notes.

### When is the handoff complete?

When the incoming owner confirms the state and next action, or explicitly reports what prevents taking it on.

## Product connection

Carry the evidence link, unresolved question and receiving owner into the next TeamBoostAI work update.
