What the next shift needs to know

The handover note, attached to the shift itself.

End-of-shift notes live on the shift rather than in somebody's memory, so the person coming on reads what actually happened instead of hearing a version of it.

What the next shift needs to know

It belongs to the shift

A note is attached to the shift it came from, so it is still there next week when somebody asks why Thursday went the way it did.

  • The incoming person sees the note against their own shift, rather than scrolling a group chat for the last thing that mattered.

A record, not a rumour

Every note carries who wrote it and when. That matters most for the handovers nobody wants to have twice.

Nothing extra to remember

The prompt arrives at the end of the shift, which is the only moment the detail is still fresh and the person is still there.
FAQ

Shift handover, answered.

What should go in a handover note?+
The things the next person would otherwise find out the hard way: what broke, what was started and not finished, who called in, what the delivery was short of. Not a shift report.
How is this different from shift messages?+
A message is addressed to somebody. A handover is addressed to whoever is next, which is often not known when it is written. It stays with the shift so the right person finds it.
Who can see a handover note?+
The people on the surrounding shifts and anyone managing that location. It is operational context rather than a private message.
