Successful offshoring part 4: Independence
In this series on successful offshoring we already spoke about time(zone) management, the important role of the coordinator and advisable steps during the preparation phase.
Next in my discussion on how to do offshoring successfully is independence. You have to make sure the development team in the offshore location can work as independently as possible.
Like the earlier articles it is equally important to deal with the subject of independence in the planning phase of a project, but also each and every day of its lifetime.
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.
