# Where We Are — Project State Snapshot A thin, scannable departure briefing for when you're stepping away from a project. Captures the vitals, next steps, and pointers so your future self (or another developer) can resume without context rebuilding. **This is NOT a postmortem.** Postmortems look backward at what happened and why.
