handovers
Passing the baton
Handovers are transfers of responsibility, control, or possession from one party to another.
The term appears often in professional contexts: a nurse's handover to the next shift, the handover of a project to a new team, or the handover of power after an election.
The handover went smoothly despite the tight deadline.
