Introduction

Welcome to the Discover Program off-boarding guide! This short handbook explains everything your project team needs to do this week to hand off your work to the client and officially wrap up the quarter.

Why This Guide Exists​

  • Consistency – Every client receives the same clear, professional package.
  • Continuity – Future DISC teams (and your client) can pick up where you left off.
  • Closure – You get full credit once we see the hand-off email with disc@u.northwestern.edu CC’d.

Who Should Read This​

  • Discover project team members preparing their final deliverables
  • Tech leads & DISC staff reviewing off-boarding status
  • Clients looking for a reference after the hand-off call

Quick Start​

  2. Draft your client email using the provided template.
  3. Package & upload all assets; verify permissions.
  4. Record a walkthrough (strongly encouraged).
  5. Send the email (CC disc@u.northwestern.edu) and await client confirmation.
