Handoff Protocol Designer
Defining the quality gate and escalation path addresses the two most common handoff failures: incomplete deliverables and unclear accountability.
Prompt
Design a handoff protocol for the transition between {{upstream_step}} and {{downstream_step}} in our {{workflow_name}} workflow.\n\nUpstream team/role: {{upstream_role}}\nDownstream team/role: {{downstream_role}}\nCurrent pain points: {{handoff_problems}}\n\nCreate a protocol that defines:\n1. Handoff trigger: what event or condition initiates the handoff\n2. Deliverable checklist: exactly what the upstream team must provide\n3. Quality gate: minimum criteria the deliverable must meet before handoff\n4. Handoff format: how deliverables are transferred (tool, channel, template)\n5. Acknowledgment: how the downstream team confirms receipt and readiness\n6. SLA: maximum time from handoff to acknowledgment\n7. Escalation path: what happens if the handoff is incomplete or delayed\n8. Feedback loop: how the downstream team reports issues back upstream\n\nInclude a one-page handoff checklist template both teams can use.
