How do I hand a project over from one department to another?

What gets lost in engineering offices is usually what falls between two departments: design assumed execution had taken it, and execution was waiting.

Steps

1. Open the project from Engineering → Projects — Figure 1.
2. At the top of the page you see the project’s current department.
3. Press hand off to a department, choose the receiving department, and write a note explaining what you are handing over and what is still outstanding.
4. The handoff stays pending until the receiving department confirms it or rejects it with a reason.
5. On confirmation the current department moves and the dashboard counters change with it.

Notes

• A rejection is not a quarrel; it is the only way to record that the deliverables were not complete.
• Write in the note what was actually handed over (drawings, reports, approvals); that is the record you will come back to.
• A project sitting in one department for months is a delay signal worth asking about.
