5 mistakes companies make when outsourcing software development
TRANSCRIPT
1THINKING YOU ARE GOING TO
SAVE TIME ON PROJECT MANAGEMENT
You think that outsourcing can save you time on project management?
You're getting it wrong.
Email correspondence, consistent checks may take
a lot of your time.
Consider assigning a person who can manage the project for you. Someone
who has enough skill to be your “mini-me”
in making decisions.
2THINKING A FIXED-PRICE
CONTRACT IS GOING TO SAVE YOU MONEY
Quality should always be your topmost priority.
For small projects,go for fixed or hourly bid.
For a project that requires continuous development,
invest in engagement-based contracts.
3 THINKING “GENIUS” IS BETTER THAN “COMPETENT”
Choose a competent developer rather than a
genius.
Competent developers highly value getting the job done
with quality and efficiency.
This matters a lot in a project.
4 THINKING YOU CAN GET VERSION 1.0 DONE BY AN OUTSIDE TEAM AND THEN
MAINTAIN AND MOVE IT FORWARD WITH YOUR IN-HOUSE TEAM.
Moving your outsourced project to in-house might
suffer unpredicted consequences on the
continuity of the project.
Unless you're willing to spend for training, it is
more cost-efficient to keep your outsource team who understands your product
well.
5 GETTING FIXATED ON A PARTICULAR TECHNOLOGY WITHOUT GOOD REASON.
We know that technology evolves very fast.Don't stick to the
technology you know when its already outdated.
Talk to developers.Be always willing to
embrace change.
It's an open secret to success in any project you
might encounter.
