A working result.
A clear way to receive it.
Delivery should explain the experience and give the next person enough context to operate and change it responsibly.
The depth of a handoff depends on the engagement. A small static website and a connected application need different material. These topics help agree what is useful before the work reaches its final stage.
This framework is not a certification or a promise that every possible check is included. Specific deliverables, review depth, and maintenance arrangements belong in the project agreement.
The implemented experience
Identify the pages, components, interactions, and connected features that belong to the delivery. Describe a representative task and distinguish implemented behavior from any remaining demonstration content.
An understandable inventory with links to the working parts.
The source and assets
Provide the agreed source files, required visual assets, and relevant licenses. Explain whether the receiving team can publish the files directly or needs a build process. Configuration instructions should avoid exposing confidential values.
A file structure and the instructions needed to reproduce the intended output.
The content and controls
Explain how common content changes are made and which interface patterns should remain consistent. A short example can clarify how a heading, selection, or feedback message is intended to be used.
Editing guidance and concise component behavior notes where appropriate.
The technical boundary
Record the supported environment, data behavior, external dependencies, and access responsibilities. A local prototype, a static website, and a connected application have different operating needs.
A clear statement of what persists, what connects, and who owns the dependencies.
The review record
Connect the agreed checks to the intended tasks. Record relevant browser, responsive, keyboard, and interaction observations along with unresolved limitations. Avoid turning a limited review into an unsupported assurance claim.
Review findings that separate observed behavior from untested assumptions.
The next responsibility
Confirm the receiving owner, deployment responsibility, future update route, and any separately agreed support. The presence of a live site does not by itself establish an ongoing service arrangement.
A responsibility record and a clear route for discussing future changes.
