Project Takeover
If an app changes teams, it’s likely to face issues like tech debt, legacy code, glitches, or performance drops. We have the skills to handle this:
- Swiftly analyzing foreign code to pinpoint problems
- Proficiency in handling legacy apps
- Rapidly recovering a seamless user experience while steadily reducing tech debt
Why Choose Us?
Established Track Record
We’re proud to have assisted many apps in overcoming challenges with unsuitable tech, suboptimal structures, legacy code, and poor user experiences. The project owners tell their stories best - you can read their detailed interviews.
Quality Recovery Skills
No one sees what’s under the hood, but it directly impacts the app’s business efficiency - user satisfaction, the ability to integrate trendy features, and the app’s performance in Google and app markets. We know how to do it right. Moreover, we know how to fix it.
Best Management Practices
Consistent results need reliable project management. This means multi-level code quality control, deadlines and budget management, and constant alignment with client and user expectations. We’ve mastered this all with Agile methodology.
Prioritizing Business Goals
A valuable tech partner goes beyond their tech to see through the client’s eyes, not just fixing for its own sake. We recognize critical problems that need urgent action, easy fixes that offer rapid returns, and fixes that need careful thought to justify costs.
FAQ
What is software project takeover?
Generally, it’s the case whenever a new team of developers assumes control of an existing software project at any stage in its lifecycle. This could be an app that’s still to be launched, one that is gaining users, scaling, or being updated to explore new niches and markets.
What is a code takeover?
The code takeover is a necessary step in the project takeover process. New developers need to familiarize themselves with the code written by their predecessors, its specifics, and any existing issues. Ideally, they should have access to the previous team and the documentation. If this isn’t possible, they have to conduct the analysis themselves.
What is a code review?
A code review, or code audit, is an assessment of an app’s codebase by independent expert engineers. The purpose is to verify adherence to quality standards and identify any issues. App owners typically initiate this if there are concerns or if investors or partners require it. It does not mean the project has to be handed over to new developers.
When do project owners decide to embark on a project takeover?
We’ve found that app owners usually search for a new team in these circumstances:
- Key developers living the project.
- Dissatisfaction with the current team’s work.
- A strategic change requiring new development skills.
- After the project has been paused or minimally supported.
How do you take over a project?
You need to locate a trustworthy team and assist them in getting acquainted with the project - support them in contacting past developers, give them necessary details about your business model and user preferences, and agree on the format for future collaboration with the new team for regular task execution.
