Project handover is a (yet another ;)) crucial part of the software development lifecycle. Over the last years, our teams have successfully onboarded into and handed over dozens of projects. Based on that experience, we created a Project Handover Checklist that we have been improving ever since.

Even though Ruby has been our core technology since the beginning of iRonin.IT, and we built a wide portfolio full of diverse RoR web projects, as well as managed to establish an awesome team of senior Ruby developers; in 2021 we decided to take up a new challenge – diversify our tech stack. We had delivered some projects in other technologies before, such as Java and Elixir, and had relevant experts on board. However, they had been a minority in our team, portfolio, and tech stack.

We grew up with Ruby, so why did we take over a Java project?

If the last years (and months) have taught us one thing, it's that anything can happen. We are lucky to say we managed to navigate all these changes quite well – [2021 was our best year ever]({% post_url 2022-01-05-2021-was-iRonins-best-year-to-date %}) and in Q1 2022 we have already recorded a dynamic 20% growth.
