Does the Right to Ask Survive a Handover?

A temporary coordinator hands a project to a permanent team. An unresolved concern is mentioned in conversation but omitted from the handover note.

Traces in This ScenarioInvented, not observed

The Assumption

Transferring tasks is assumed to transfer all unresolved questions as well.

Keep the difference visible

The new team may know the concern even though the note is incomplete.

The handover may preserve work while leaving the questioner without a recipient.

Risk Reduced

A permanent team can reduce uncertainty about day-to-day ownership.

Risk Shifted

The questioner must explain the same concern again to a new recipient.
