This template is meant as a guide for you to document your processes, activities, and other important knowledge specific to your position. Helping others continue your work at NASA is one way to continue your legacy and help those who follow in your footsteps!\nWhat format should the continuity book be in?\nOne size does not fit all- the best format is the one that will actually get used and can be passed along. Some options include:\nPhysical Binder: Print everything out and store in a binder with sections. This may be a great desk reference, or an easy way to \"hand over\" the binder to a new employee (especially when they are figuring out how to navigate online resources).\nElectronic Method: Use a Share Drive, SharePoint, or One Note to create folders and sections. Then include files, documents, videos, and links as appropriate. This is a great method for remote work, large files, and frequent updates.\nWhen should I make a continuity book?\nThe best time to create a continuity book is when you are first starting in your position. When you are new to a position, you are actively gathering all the information that is needed for a continuity book already. Just keep it organized in a continuity book from the start, and update along the way. Your successor will thank you! If someone has already passed you a continuity book, be sure to validate its contents and update it as required.\nDo I have to follow this guide exactly?\nNo! This is just a start. All jobs and positions are different. Modify this template as required to fit your needs. Add or delete sections. Don’t have to start from scratch- add links to online resources or simply refer to other documents that have already been created. It’s all about having an easy way to find relevant information.\n\u000f\nDuties and Responsibilities\nList your overall duties and responsibilities. This may be a simple description of your job or a longer list of programs or projects that you participate in and your responsibilities to that program or project.\n\u000f\nOrganization Chart\nInsert any organization charts for reference. Example:\n\u000f\nPoints of Contact\nList any points of contact, their roles, and how to contact them. Other relevant information may include the best day/time to contact them. You may also include communities of practice to join.\n\u000f\nReferences\nList any frequency used documents, books, website, or regulations that are essential to your job. Include links or a printout. Highlight important sections. Example:\n\u000f\nTasks\nCreate a list of daily, weekly, or monthly activities. Examples include meetings to attend, reports that are due, milestones, or equipment that needs to be maintained. Include details about how to accomplish the activities. If required, add another page to include step by step instructions.\nDAILY CHECKLIST\nWEEKLY CHECKLIST\nMONTHLY CHECKLIST\n\u000f\nCalendar of Events\nInsert calendar","cbCair7l9oItut76","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair7l9oItut76","docx",469071,"English","# Table of Contents\n## Duties and Responsibilities\n## Organization Chart\n## Points of Contact\n## References\n## Tasks\n## Calendar of Events\n## Maps and Locations\n## Equipment List\n## Onboarding Checklist\n## Lessons Learned","[{\"question\":\"What is a continuity book used for?\",\"answer\":\"A continuity book helps pass relevant information to a successor or anyone covering for you during leave, job transitions, or retirement.
