Handoff accountability

Make the next owner obvious.

NextWho turns messy team handoffs into clear owners, next actions, and review-ready workflows, so work stops disappearing between tools, meetings, and assumptions.

  • Workflow-level clarity
  • Human-approved changes
  • No employee scoring

Three ownership outcomes

Who, what next, and when — answered on sight.

01

The next owner is visible

Every workflow step shows a named person, not a team or a channel. No more “I thought you had it.”

02

The next action is named

Each handoff ends with one concrete step and a time it needs attention — written down, not remembered.

03

The handoff context travels with the work

Notes, files, and decisions move with the card, so the next person starts informed instead of chasing.

Ownership map

One lane per owner. One card per next step.

Workflow Map lays the handoff out as lanes, so you can see exactly where work sits and who picks it up next.
