Harbor DeskA small collection with a clear purpose.
Harbor Desk collects straightforward ways to share work in progress. The guides are for small teams, independent collaborators, and anyone who has inherited a project without quite enough context.
The starting point is a project handoff. That might mean covering a colleague's time away, moving a piece of work to another team, or simply leaving a note for your future self.
Useful beats exhaustive.
A note should help its reader take the next step. Background matters when it explains a choice or prevents a mistake. Beyond that, a page can usually be shorter.
- Write for a reader. Name the person or role who will use the note.
- Be specific about the next step. “Check the two open comments” is more useful than “follow up.”
- Keep uncertainty visible. Separate a working assumption from a settled decision.
Take a guide into your own workspace.
You can use the questions in these pages as prompts for your team's notes. Change the headings, leave out sections you don't need, and keep the result wherever your team already works.
The library is open to read. There is no account to create or private project area on this site.
