The Two-Week Scramble

The DM you didn't expect.

Two weeks to find everything they know.

A clean handoff is better than a perfect one.

A clean handoff is better than a perfect one.

Your employee just resigned. You have two weeks to find everything they know before the context walks out the door. We built a structured way to handle the disruption.

Virtual Handover

Move project files from private folders to shared drives before you lose access. Identify admin logins for tools that aren't on your single sign-on system. Transfer ownership of every recurring calendar invite.

Physical Recovery

Log serial numbers for laptops and monitors. Recover office keys, security badges, and corporate credit cards. Confirm the specific shipping plan for all remote equipment.

Human Logistics

Approve final expense reports and outstanding PTO. Send warm introduction emails to key vendors and clients. Brief the successor on the "Known Gaps" list—the things we didn't have time to fix.

Is this for you?

This checklist is for the person directly accountable for what happens after an employee leaves. If you are the manager who will have to answer for a slipped deadline or a broken system next month, this structure is for you. We focus on the things that are hardest to reconstruct later—the tribal knowledge and hidden dependencies that usually disappear on the last day.

1

Day 10-8: The Inventory

Stop the bleeding. List physical gear, orphaned passwords for niche tools, and those private Google Drive links you currently can't see.

2

Day 7-4: The Transitions

Tell the clients. Introduce the new point of contact. Cancel the recurring meetings that no longer need to happen to save your future calendar.

3

Day 3-1: The Final Sweep

Submit the last expense reports. Review the tribal knowledge they captured. Acknowledge what we didn't have time to document.

4

Day 0: The Secure Exit

Badge return. Laptop recovery. Account deactivation. A clean handoff is better than a perfect one. Ensure a clear break.

What we don't promise.

We choose clarity over speed. Missing something and acknowledging it is better than false confidence. This is not an HR compliance tool or a HIPAA-regulated system. It won't catch every single task, and it does not replace your judgment. It is simply structure for a chaotic moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this checklist for?

This is designed for managers of knowledge-dense roles—Ops, RevOps, Marketing, and Account Management—where the 'how' is often as important as the 'what.'

How is this different from our existing documentation?

Documentation often describes 'what' to do, but not 'why' or 'who' to call when it breaks. Our process surfaces the context that usually lives only in an employee's head.

What if I have less than two weeks?

The system focuses on high-risk areas first. Even if you only have 48 hours, capturing three critical facts is better than capturing nothing at all.
