This may seem like an extreme position, but sometimes I think the best thing a shop can do is just throw out all that legacy stuff, and re-code everything from scratch. :-\

Just make sure they know the "Business logic" first. I see a lot of companies that don't know what they have, do not know their own processes or missed things done a certain way for a reason (that no one knows why) so the coders rely on what was there. Result: not new from scratch with good design but just new crap.


Understanding the business rules is of course necessary. But then again, if no one knows the reason for some particular business process, then perhaps that too should be thrown out. :-\
