How the handover works
- 1
Scope
Agree which Jira areas and date ranges go in, in writing, before anything is exported.
- 2
Collect
Your admin exports, or the buyer reads only approved sources through limited access. Never hand over an admin password.
- 3
Clean and sample
The buyer removes names and personal details, and you review a cleaned sample before release.
- 4
Get paid, confirm deletion
Payment usually lands three to six weeks after signing. Ask for written confirmation that raw files were deleted.
