Handoffs turns the murky transfer of work between teams into a signed, searchable contract - with clear acceptance criteria, named authors, and a ceremony for when it's done.
Sender writes acceptance criteria. Receiver writes their requirements. Both sign. Both own it.
Each line of the contract is its own decision - agree, counter, or flag. No mystery checkboxes.
When work ships, it ships with a stamp. A named moment your team can point to and celebrate.
Inbound on your desk. Outbound awaiting review. Parked, blocked, delivered - all on one page.
Every counter, every dispute, every comment - timestamped and searchable for the next engineer who asks "why."
Codify the handoffs you run over and over. Design → Eng. Eng → Ops. Data → Everyone.
Pick a template - or start blank. Name the sender, the receiver, the due date. Write your acceptance criteria as plain English.
The other team accepts, counters line-by-line, or flags. Every thread stays on the row it's about. No separate Slack graveyard.
When criteria are met, both sides stamp the contract. It lands in the archive, linked to the sprint, the PR, and the next handoff downstream.
Handoffs is in private beta with a handful of founder-led product teams. If your team loses a week a month to "I thought you were doing that," we'd love to talk.
