Ask HN: Is there any guideline for 'Handover Process' when you quit a job?
I am quitting my current job! I have been working with current organization with 2 Years and been in to almost every projects related with Mobile. My team has grown to 5 people now, but I am waving goodbye to my current organization. I wanted to give my team, technical head and management enough confidence to work as easily without me.
What are the things I need to consider ? I have made a list of things to do , but still I wanted to know from you guys!

Why?
I can guarantee that the minute you walk out of the door, they will tear up anything that you wanted them to do. Whoever will replace you will want to do it their way, not yours, and that's all there is to it. Management are notoriously eager to stamp their authority when someone leaves, for good reasons as well as bad. No need to be overly romantic about any legacies!
Friendship and networks on the other are valuable so work on those as your priority.
Transfer what you intended to do. Explain the TODOs in your code, optimizations that you had in mind, but didn't get the time, explain the code for handling special cases if they are not too obvious... when people refactor old code they often overlook the tiny edge cases unless it is too obvious or they had been bitten by it.
