# Delegation | ||
|
||
When you need to hand a project off, it's important to provide context and set | ||
expecations for the person receiving the work. At DataMade, we like to use | ||
the delegation document provided by The Management Center as a jumping off | ||
point. | ||
|
||
- 📄 [Delegation document template](https://docs.google.com/document/d/102dSS5GzQsI_gd9aa47U9tDenhR1ZnzgeyD0wiAl4HY/edit?usp=sharing) | ||
- 💡 Example: [Delegation Document for LA Metro Maintenance](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RyiJpZeguYlAoAd1wUiKSbgFF-88iF6d9H9Vlje90mM/edit?usp=sharing) | ||
|
||
Note that delegation is different from assigning work. When a technical lead | ||
assigns a task to an implementer, the technical lead remains accountable for | ||
the end result. Conversely, delegation is the transfer of accountability. It | ||
can be temporary, as in a period of leave, or permanent, as in company exits. | ||
|
||
Much literal and proverbial ink has been spilled on why, when, and how to | ||
delegate. At DataMade, we like [the resources produced by The Management | ||
Center](https://www.managementcenter.org/tools/delegation/), in particular | ||
their delegation document, which provides helpful prompts for key information | ||
about the work to be delegated. |
