What are the initial steps to take when entering the management of a completely new project?

When entering the management of a new project, the following priority steps should be taken:

1. Study the technical documentation — understand the architecture, technologies used, and coding standards.
2. Familiarize yourself with the codebase — study the project structure, key modules, and dependencies.
3. Understand the business logic and goals of the project — to make decisions that align with the tasks.
4. Determine the current status and issues — identify bottlenecks, bugs, and technical debt.
5. Establish communication with the team — understand roles, expectations, and capabilities of participants.
6. Develop an action plan — set priorities, tasks, and deadlines for project improvement.

These steps will help you quickly adapt and effectively manage the project.
