Project handover is one of the most difficult and crucial steps in the software development lifecycle. What's more, unless planned wisely, it may turn out to be costly. At Merixstudio we know how to do it properly, and that's why we have prepared this video. It provides you with some crucial steps you need to keep in mind when deciding on software project handover.
The main reason why Merixstudio’s clients decide on the project handover is that they are disappointed with the current provider’s work quality. When choosing a new software provider, you need to prepare well, so the most beneficial for your product would be to keep in mind this simple checklist for project handover that we’ve created for this video.
First of all, make sure that your choice is based on the retrospective assessment of the past team. Find out, what went wrong in cooperation with the previous programming team to know on what aspects we should focus on in our activities.
Secondly, you need to provide a new programming team with sufficient information and documentation about your project. It should include a description of the app architecture, key algorithms, and guidelines. Remember that the new team needs to receive this information in order to have a better understanding of your business idea and product - the handover process is not only about transferring a software system but also the knowledge, experience, and responsibilities.
You should also allow the new team to perform a code review. It will give us a general overview of the application health and will help us measure the technical debt. Also, it would be beneficial to allow the time overlap with the outgoing team. Having two teams overlapped can speed up the onboarding process.
Last but not least - we recommend you to meet the new outsourcing team at their office. Maybe during the product design workshops? These are the best way of starting the product development process. Find out more about them in our other videos:
