⚠️ Handoff Best Practices
Timing: Complete handoffs before the receiving stream begins work.
Verification: Receiving stream should acknowledge within 24 hours.
Documentation: Keep handoff records accessible for auditing.

Coordination Health Assessment
This assessment evaluates how well your streams work together, not just whether handoffs occur.
Rate each flow pattern on timeliness, completeness, and actionability, then check for Failure Mode C1 symptoms.
Research basis: Harvard Business Review indicates only 1 in 4 cross-functional teams functions well, primarily due to unclear handoffs and competing priorities.
