Collaboration of your Prospective Development Partner
Software development process is an iterative process and takes multiple adjustments and fine-tunings during
the process. Your inputs, feedbacks and communication during the development process are the vital factors for
successful project completion and solution implementation.
Experienced development partner provides various methods for collaboration during the development process.
Some of the effective methods may include:
Email
IM
Team member's accessibility
Regular reporting on each milestone
Deliverable reporting
Anytime access to your project status and builds
Dedicated project management portal for each project
You should always obtain clear idea about the complete policies and process of your prospective development
partner and collaborating options they are providing.
Your Prospective Development Partner providing only
onshore/offshore outsourcing or 'Hybrid Development Approach'?
Outsourcing means when you don't have enough resources or expertise for a particular project, you delegate
particular project to another specialized firm outside your organization. 'Outsourcing' is not the synonym for
'Offshoring'. If you are thinking about outsourcing your project and thinking about other countries which can
provide cheaper development options, then you should think about different unexpected possibilities during
development process. For example you will find cheaper quotation for your project but you should not overlook
the timeline, other risks and main functionalities for your project.
If your project is very complex and requires very high degree of coordination then you should choose the
development partner on the same location as yours. This option might be costly but it is very reliable.
