Questions
How do I make a process work without me?
Transfer the reasoning, not just the instructions. A process works without you when someone else can explain it, use it, improve it, and teach it without depending on your memory.
Why people ask this
A solution can work perfectly and still leave its creator as the bottleneck for every question, exception, and improvement.
My answer
Chelsie treats Transfer as part of the work, not an administrative step after it.
Demonstrate the completed work. Teach the reasoning behind it. Document it only after the next person understands why the decisions were made and where judgment still remains.
Capability exists when someone can reach sound conclusions in their own words. If people still need you to explain every decision, the work created dependency instead of a system.
Common mistake
Assuming documentation or a recorded walkthrough creates capability by itself.
Those things can preserve knowledge. They do not prove that another person can use the reasoning.
Try this
Ask the next owner to explain the process, decisions, exceptions, and unresolved judgment back in their own words. If the reasoning does not survive, transfer is not complete.
