Agency operations guide

Handoffs are where customer context can disappear. A consistent note and clear owner help a colleague continue the conversation without making the customer start over.

Start with the reader’s real question

Capture the reason for the handoff, relevant conversation summary, promised follow-up, due date, and person responsible. Notify the recipient and verify acceptance for urgent work.

Build a process your agency can maintain

Share only what the next person needs. Avoid copying sensitive details into broad channels or assuming a notification means the work was accepted.

Put the guidance into practice

Review a recent handoff that went smoothly and one that did not. Use the difference to create a short standard the whole team can follow.
