Five Most Common Mistakes When Outsourcing Software Development
Inadequate Readiness Assessment of Current State, Desired Future State and Required Roadmap
Software organizations often make decisions about what and how to outsource too quickly, without detailed expert
assessment of their current state, desired future state and required path on how to get there. It is critical to plan
outsourcing strategy by considering a company’s current software engineering process maturity, in-house team size,
available project documentation, and experience with distributed software development, cross cultural fitment, executive
support and staff by in. It is recommended to access applications, source code base, business processes and to lay out a
matrix of how and in what sequence applications and processes can and/or should be outsourced, kept in-house or
retired.
Unrealistic Cost Expectations
The cost expectations that determine the savings that an organization can expect as a result of outsourcing are often over
estimated. IT organizations fail to consider learning curve for the offsite team to become productive. An offsite team will
become as productive as a onsite team for at least two to four months, or even longer depending on how complex the
project is. The transition phase will add costs to the initiative – but planned budgets should cover diligence, knowledge
transfer and outsource program management.
Relying Too Much on Executive Contract
Once a company decides to outsource, it usually rushes to get the outsourcing deal closed with the vendor and put
everything to fast track. To do this, executives tend to agree on the billing rates and agreements and then let the next level
management to sort out the details. It is advisable to have the executive remain involved while have next level
management have a say in process integration.
Not Letting the Outsourcer Lead the Process
The essence of outsourcing is that a company transfers the process of application engineering to the outsourcer, and then
buys the results of that process. When the company chooses not to transfer the ownership of the outsourcing process to
the outsourcer, instead opt to keep it under their control, it removes the ability of the outsourcer to add value to the
process.
Improper Process Management
Companies new to outsourcing process often do not assign the right people to manage the outsourcing process. They
often assume very little governance is required and lose oversight to recognize any problems before they surface.
