Working from anywhere

Check connectivity, devices, access and hours and keep shared records. Distributed work should not scatter sensitive files across unmanaged devices.

Putting collaboration into practice

Clear ownership, shared material and decision records support collaboration. Synchronous discussion resolves disagreement while asynchronous records preserve continuity.

Checking the result

Test a real handover for completeness and continuity. State the issue, impact and decision needed instead of giving vague feedback.
