  • The same as taking over any legacy project applies, really.

    Start out with some expectation management - the current state of the solution prevents progress from going fast, and your stakeholders need to understand that.

    Then get some tests going, such that you can try to defend whatever value the system has, if any.

    Finally, start refactoring as much as you can get the space to do. Repeat until the system reaches your desired state.
