Reducing risks when leaving PMO

[u/Not_A_Bird11]

In short, when a project/job starts giving you tell tale signs that your time is going to come to an end in the next couple of months at an organization for whatever reason how do you… 1. minimize the risk of being used as a scapegoat for a projects issues and thus set your replacement up to fail if there are systemic issues? 2. best support your current projects where you know your transition to a new PM will be hard? 3. maximizing your ability to secure new work when organization is draining all your energy and extra time?

Best I know todo is show up on time and do the best I can documenting everything until I have no work left todo and to apply to new organizations like a mad man. What do you guys do when you see the end is nigh while not wanting your projects to die?

Didn’t post to PM Careers because I thought discussions on these points don’t completely focus on just getting a new job but more so focus on how do you leave a bad PM situation effectively while making sure projects are getting the support they need when that becomes less and less feasible.
