Onboarding: The first step is to understand the project by doing a walk-through, analyzing the code base, and getting familiar with the infrastructure.
Roadmap and Project Management: Prioritize and organize issues into epics, build a roadmap, assemble the team, define the work methodology, and write tickets.
Development: Once the roadmap is in place, development begins with the team gaining familiarity with the application and business logic.
Moving forward: Effective communication and a methodical approach contribute to a successful takeover, resulting in long-lasting relationships with project owners.
