Do you hand over your responsibilities?
Last updated by Stefan Starcevic [SSW] 11 months ago.See historyThere's nothing more exciting than having a holiday planned, but while you are away, the show must go on.
It's essential your responsibilities are handed over for a few reasons so your absence doesn't cause issues and your leave is undisturbed.
Tip: If someone is calling when you are on leave, it's probably because you haven't handed over your responsibilities properly.
There are a number of things to remember to handover
- Scrum Master/Product Owner roles - these roles are required in some meetings, so ensure they are covered or the meetings are rescheduled
- GitHub CODEOWNERS - check you are never the only code owner on a area of the codebase
- Induction approvals - ensure someone else is able to approve new staff inductions
- Other employee responsibilities e.g. Organizing events, managing the office, etc.
All these handovers should be documented in an email, checked by the person taking over.
