Project recovery

Web Project Recovery — Recover a blocked or abandoned project

Your web project is blocked, abandoned or poorly documented. I take over the code, evaluate the situation and propose a concrete action plan.

Your project is blocked and you don't know where to start

Your web application is in development or production, but the previous developer left, the code is poorly documented and you don't have the visibility to move forward. You need someone to take over the code, understand the existing and propose an action plan. Project recovery is a specific exercise that requires both analytical and execution capabilities.

Who this service is for

Suitable if

  • Your previous developer left and the code is difficult to understand
  • The project has been blocked for several weeks or months
  • You have existing code but no documentation or tests
  • You want to know if the project is recoverable or if everything needs rewriting

Not suitable if

  • The project has no existing code (it's a new project)
  • You already have a technical team managing the code

Expected results

  • A clear diagnosis of code state and recovery feasibility
  • A prioritized action plan with estimates
  • Effective development resumption if the diagnosis is positive
  • Technical documentation to understand the existing

Deliverables

  • Source code and architecture analysis
  • Technical debt and risk diagnosis
  • Prioritized action plan with estimates
  • Development resumption if validated
  • Technical documentation of existing
  • Production deployment or restoration

Scope examples

Diagnosis and recovery plan

Complete analysis of existing code with recommendations and action plan.

Recovery and modernization

Code take-over, critical issue fixes and progressive modernization.

Recovery and deployment

Take over a project in development, fix and deploy to production.

Work method

I start with an audit of the existing code to understand the architecture, technical debt and risks. Then I propose an action plan that we validate together before starting the recovery.

Pricing

Starting at €1,350

Initial diagnosis, development on quote

An audit at €1,350 allows understanding the existing and estimating the recovery cost.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if the project is recoverable?

An initial audit at €1,350 answers this question. I analyze the code, architecture and technical debt to give you an informed opinion.

How long does a recovery take?

Between 2 and 8 weeks depending on project size, existing code quality and recovery scope.

Can you work with a previous developer's code?

Yes. Code recovery is a common exercise. I'm used to working on existing codebases, even poorly documented ones.

Let's recover your project

Describe your project, its current situation and your objective. I'll propose a first exchange to frame the diagnosis.
