The Dev team at CurrentEmployer Plc consists of 5 Devs of varying abilities. 4 of us have been at the company about 12 months and 1 guy about 6 years.

This person is leaving and so obviously there’s a tremendous amount of knowledge transfer and documentation that needs doing.

Déjà vu all over again. Single points of failure and institutional memory.

Oh, and of course we’ve been told that managing a smooth handover is the absolute overriding priority* for the team.

*but existing priorities are also important and should not suffer.
