Who it is for

Written for teams that already have software in production.

The book starts with the system you have — not with a blank-slate rewrite.

  • eCommerce teams whose storefront, admin or order system already runs the business
  • Founders, CTOs and engineering leads deciding whether to rewrite or modernize
  • Product and operations people who have to live with the change after it ships

What you will learn

Seven steps. Ten chapters. A checklist you can run in a room.

Understand → Map → Modernize → Integrate → Add Intelligence → Measure → Scale.
