Laravel Handover: Taking Over a Product You Inherited
An access and dependency inventory, a reproducible setup, checks on the flows customers depend on, and a release and support plan.
Scope & deliverables
- For whom
- Owners inheriting a Laravel product from an agency or a departing developer, and teams needing continued backend delivery.
- Outcome
- An ownership and dependency inventory, reproducible setup, critical-flow checks and a prioritized maintenance and release plan.
- What I need
- Repository access, deployment documentation, dependency versions and a contact who can approve access. Production changes require an agreed rollout and rollback.
- Format & timing
- A scoped handover followed by project work or an ongoing retainer. Support hours and response expectations are agreed explicitly.
Project or ongoing retainer. Scope, schedule and fees are agreed after an initial review. I reply within one business day and name the next step before you commit to anything.

Questions about this service
What do you need from the outgoing Laravel developer?
Repository ownership, dependency versions, deployment instructions, environment requirements and a list of critical business flows. We identify missing access and verify the release path before changing production. Credentials travel through an approved secure channel.
Can you work with our existing team?
Yes. We agree ownership, pull-request review, acceptance criteria and the release process. Credentials are shared through an approved secure channel, not a public form.
Who owns the code and the infrastructure?
You do. Repositories, infrastructure and accounts stay under your control, and the access model is agreed before the work starts.
