What would happen to you and your company if you choose the wrong development partner? Perhaps you already have, perhaps you are about to. There are several intricacies of working with an outsourced product development or application development provider that every company should be aware of. Each one of these factors below can have an impact on your project, either causing it to be late, over budget, or a technical mess to manage. Most of important of all is that focusing on the cheapest rate will probably NOT get you the best results. Companies seeking outsourced software development partners should be aware of these issues and tactics:
1. Underbidding to win the deal
2. Time zone differences
3. Cultural differences
4. Low skilled or under qualified resources
5. High turnover
6. Lack of experience with a particular technology
7. Unexpected overhead / expenses
8. Attempting to Fix the Price, Scope, and Timeline
9. Poor quality in architectural design and coding
10. Poor quality in documentation
In the following weeks, I will post more details about how the factors above can affect your IT project and how you can avoid such issues with your outsourcing partner.
