- Perform analysis of tools for measuring coupling
- Detect and analyze cyclic dependencies (use phpda)
- Measure code abstraction and instability (use pdepend or phpmetrics)
- Set up tools for continuous measurements over time
- Analyze codebase to identify the first areas to decouple
- Set baseline and target metric for decoupling
- Refactor code to remove tight coupling in first areas
- Reanalyze codebase to see next steps
