Key takeaways
Short answer: A shift handover board exists to move the few things the next shift must know — open issues, running risks, in-progress work — across the boundary without loss. Most fail by trying to capture everything and going stale. Design it short, structured, action-owned, and ideally digital and linked to the CMMS.

They become a dumping ground. When everything is on the board, nothing stands out, it goes stale, and the incoming team stops trusting it. Less is more.
A digital handover linked to the CMMS means open faults reference real work orders, history is searchable, and "we told the next shift" stops being a verbal claim. Patterns of repeat problems become visible.
Most repeat failures and missed follow-ups happen at the shift boundary. A disciplined handover is a cheap, high-leverage reliability control.

Start simple; digital wins once you want history and CMMS links.
