An assessment of what is there
Review the code, architecture, environments, backlog, and release process to separate working capabilities from incomplete features and technical risks.
Project rescue
Ventive assesses stalled or troubled software projects, identifies delivery and technical blockers, and develops a recovery plan around the code, product priorities, and system dependencies already in place.
Technical assessmentDelivery recoveryTeam transition
Custom software. Connected systems.
Get a clear path forward for a stalled software project.
A release plan based on evidence
Reconcile the desired outcome with the current product, then prioritize blockers, reduce unnecessary scope, and define what a usable next release needs.
A coordinated handoff and recovery
Organize access, documentation, ownership, and development work so the project can move forward with an internal team, a new partner, or a shared delivery model.
-
01
Establish the current state
Gather the available code, requirements, access, and project history. Identify immediate operational concerns and gaps that limit an accurate assessment.
-
02
Agree on the recovery scope
Explain the findings and tradeoffs, then define the next release, its dependencies, and how progress will be reviewed.
-
03
Resolve blockers and release
Work through the prioritized recovery backlog, verify the critical user journeys, and prepare a release with clear ownership and follow-up work.
Define success together
What the engagement can include.
We agree on scope, priorities, and acceptance criteria around your software and the people who depend on it.
- A documented assessment of the software and delivery blockers.
- A prioritized recovery backlog and proposed next-release scope.
- A handoff and delivery plan with explicit dependencies and responsibilities.
Frequently asked questions
Can you rescue a project without starting over?
The assessment determines which parts can be retained, repaired, or replaced. Reusing working software may be appropriate, but the recommendation depends on its quality, maintainability, and fit for the required outcome.
What if our documentation or access is incomplete?
Start with what is available and identify who controls the source code, environments, accounts, and data. Missing access and unclear ownership can limit both assessment and recovery, so they become explicit dependencies in the plan.
Can you work alongside our current development team?
Yes. Recovery can include an independent assessment, a defined set of implementation responsibilities, or a planned transition. The engagement should make decision-making, access, and ownership clear for everyone involved.
