10 people in the team: 1 PM, 2 analysts, 2 backend-developers

Result

We gave the customer a detailed report on the software audit and highlighted possible risks. Below are examples of findings and recommendations for several blocks.

The risk of providing the product without the expertise transfer

If you are buying an out-of-the-box IT system without documentation and logic description, the new team onboarding may be of poor quality or take too much time. There is a risk that developers will find "superficial" solutions that may not be optimal. And you will not be able to make changes to the system sooner or later.

How to minimize the risk: a contract with the system authors for 6-12 months to transfer the expertise to a new team of architects and analysts.

Resource risk

Developers of the .Net stack will not be excited to make improvements by modifying XML files, which will result in employee burnout and churn.

How to minimize the risk: when developing projects with the proposed WMS, it is necessary to involve not only .Net stack developers, but also experts who develop XML configuration files.

Technologies

.Net, Microsoft SQL Server, Razor Pages, Android
