Case study
Shift handover template pilot: first-week results framework
This case-study format shows how to evaluate shift-handover improvements in one week. It focuses on acknowledgment discipline, unresolved-issue continuity, and fewer "who was told?" moments between overlapping operations shifts.

Rollout lessons from pilot teams
Pilot workflow
- Shift supervisor logs structured handover at shift close.
- Incoming team acknowledges handover in-app.
- Open issues carry forward until resolved.
- Each incoming team member is invited by email.
What to measure in your pilot
We don't publish invented numbers. These are the three measures a pilot team records for itself: your own baseline in the first days, then the same measures after one week of structured, acknowledged handovers. The scorecard below is what we set up and fill in with you.
| Metric | Your baseline | After 1 week |
|---|---|---|
| Submitted handovers acknowledged within 12h | — | — |
| Open issues carried forward until resolved | — | — |
| "Who was told?" incidents per week | — | — |
Implementation notes
- Start with one shift only to reduce rollout friction.
- Keep chat for urgent pings, but require one formal handover and acknowledgment record.
- Review unacknowledged handovers daily in the dashboard.
