Handover and ownership pack
Example scenario: leaving an organisation with clear ownership and usable operating records after an IT project.
01 / What changed
Summarise the agreed work, approved variations and acceptance evidence. Link each delivered item to its support owner. In a real pack, sensitive configuration is shared through an agreed secure channel, not placed in a public report.
02 / Ownership register
| Area | Accountable owner | Support responsibility | Record to maintain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud email and identity | Organisation lead | Named administrator or provider | Account recovery and access register |
| Internet and network | Operations lead | Internet provider and network maintainer | Service details, diagram and configuration location |
| Backup and recovery | Data owner | Agreed backup operator | Restore test, scope and escalation route |
| Devices and subscriptions | Asset owner | Agreed support contact | Inventory, renewal and support dates |
Roles are placeholders. Confirm named people, their authority and coverage before handover.
03 / Handover checklist
- Changes and acceptance evidence reviewed with the organisation.
- System diagram and asset list updated.
- Administrator ownership confirmed; recovery process explained.
- Secrets stored in the agreed password manager, not in this document.
- Backup scope, recovery testing and escalation responsibilities understood.
- Open issues recorded with an owner and next review date.
- Staff or volunteers briefed on the tasks they need to perform.
- Supplier contacts, renewal dates and support arrangements confirmed.
04 / Keep it useful
Review access, remove obsolete permissions and transfer responsibilities.
Update diagrams, recovery instructions and the asset register.
Test a recovery path and review outstanding risks, costs and lifecycle dates.
05 / Acceptance
The organisation confirms receipt, understands any outstanding items and knows who to contact. Any ongoing support is agreed separately; receiving this pack does not create an unlimited support arrangement.
