Start the plan with a letter of intention to provide as many details as you can on the role to help ease any unrest or tension with the transition.

Now that you have acknowledged you are providing a plan, provide the standard duties of the role, such as daily, weekly, monthly, and annual responsibilities. The next section includes any outstanding projects in terms of their status, deadlines, and needed next steps by the new person in the role.

Step 3. Add people to contact for more information.
