Hi everyone! I'm looking to create a comprehensive offboarding checklist for when team members leave the company. Sure, I've got the basics down like revoking access and onboarding a replacement. But I'm curious about the less obvious aspects, particularly around tacit knowledge—like understanding if an alert means something or if it's just background noise. What else should I keep in mind to ensure a smooth transition?

Also, in a Microsoft environment, be prepared for issues surrounding Power Automate. Any dependencies on that can lead to problems after someone departs. Just a heads-up!
Just a side note—stuff that was purchased using a personal card can cause chaos. If someone had their credit card tied to services like AWS or Google, you might be in for a surprise when payments are due after their departure!
Don't forget to check on any API keys. Often, people set up integrations without making it clear that they're tied to their own accounts. When they leave, those integrations can break unexpectedly, even with decent documentation.
If a key business process relies on a user's domain account instead of a service account, it can lead to major hiccups. Trust me, I've seen this go wrong before and it causes a lot of headaches as people scramble to figure out what happened.
Yeah, you’d be surprised how many teams have accidentally trapped themselves in that situation. It's a real mess when the wrong account is tied to something crucial!
