Planning For Technology Continuity In Your Startup

Sometimes lead developers disappear, your technical co-founders leave, and dev shops go out of business — don’t be left holding half a product and mysterious assets with no momentum.

Or not even a fallout — maybe they went and got a full time job and simply lost interest.

That might work if there’s simply not much to dump, but don’t underestimate how much even a single good developer can do in as little as a month.

Chances are, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of architectural, design, infrastructure, functional, and otherwise technological decisions they’ve made that, without clarity, any future developer or team might look at with absolute confusion.

When a new developer or a dev team looks at code with confusion, the de facto recommendation will be to throw it out and start anew.

This checklist varies by type of company — software, hardware, etc — but I’ll focus on the types of companies we work with most often that run into this problem — companies whose primary product is a website or an app of some sort — whether social, SaaS or some other model.
