"I wanted to give my team, technical head and management enough confidence to work as easily without me" Why? I can guarantee that the minute you walk out of the door, they will tear up anything that you wanted them to do. Whoever will replace you will want to do it their way, not yours, and that's all there is to it. Management are notoriously eager to stamp their authority when someone leaves, for good reasons as well as bad. No need to be overly romantic about any legacies! Friendship and networks on the other are valuable so work on those as your priority.

  That list is very long with some very nebulous items in it. Just ASK THEM what actionable things you can do in 2 weeks (or however long the notice period is) to make the transition as smooth as possible. Anything more than that and you're wasting your time.

This has been my experience - every organisation I've left has got by irritatingly well without me. The ones without solid metrics to measure success just fudge the metrics anyway; the ones with solid metrics notice quickly what they need to replace.
