I’m doing project like this for more then a decade now. What worked?

- evaluate the new team on some thing very special for you for example try to take from the 20% you never realized

- if this work don’t feel you are on right rails.

- go next creating the smallest project that bring the most value to you

- piece by piece you will have replaced the most important parts of the old system

What didn't worked?

- if the management is not very convinced and involved

- if the old system doesn't have api or in general has poor interoperability

- don’t change target, try to keep the target frozen until the job is done and testable
