Successful offshoring part 3: Preparation
In this third article in my series on successful offshoring I will discuss the preparation of a project that involves a team at a co-location and present several steps to ensure a smooth start.
I give you some measures to keep the project on track and inform you about early warning signs.
If you missed the initial articles which handled the added complexities of time(zone) management, or the second one talking about the role of the coordinator, I recommend you click one of the the links and start there.
Successful offshoring part 2: The coordinator
This is the second article in a series on successful offshoring. If you missed the first article which handled the added complexities of time(zone) management, I recommend you click the link and start there.
Here I will discuss the role of the coordinator and what its responsibilities are (and are not). What to look for in the person filling the role but also how to enable this person to do a good job.
Welcome!
Hey! Welcome to my blog.
I'm a software architect and developer, detail driven and opinionated, playful and curious.
Constantly learning, I strive not to do what others do but what I think is right.
This blog is about my experiences in information technology and the management aspects related to that.
