  Take a typical CRUD app. It'll have, say, something for inserting data, editing data, viewing data, and reporting. Pick one of those chunks (reporting is good; it's usually easy and gives insight into the data) and rewrite that. Release it (if it's a web application, modify the old app to redirect reporting requests to the new app). Lather, rinse, repeat until you have a completely rewritten app. It is more along the line of "don't try to do a big-bang release of everything" when you are initially writing an app.
