  The 10 commandments of a successful project handover

  When a project ends, some clients are not entirely sure what they should be asking from us.

To make this process easier for everyone involved, we created a checklist to ensure an efficient project handover. We started from the premise that other developers will work on that project in the future and we asked ourselves "What information would this new team need to be able to re-start the project independently from our initial work?"

Indirectly, this statistic emphasises how utterly bonkers one must be to still go ahead and found a startup against all these chilling odds.
