Visio · C# walkthrough
New-starter handover journey
Make cross-team ownership visible before a new colleague arrives.
- Start with
- Starter milestones and team handovers
- Generate
- VSDX
How it works
Define responsibility
Use a lane per team and a phase per period.
Connect handovers
Show when work crosses from one owner to another.
End with a review
Confirm first-week needs instead of ending at equipment delivery.
