Software Development Outsourcing - Evaluating the Partner
from: John ParkerAs the customer, how would you ensure that you are dealing with
a service provider who can manage your requirements accurately?
Sometimes even you are not absolutely clear as to what the
requirements for your software product are.
Here are some tips on how to evaluate your software
outsourcing development partner or service provider: 1.)
Examine the development partner/service provider for good
documentation practices. Good Documentation is very important
for effectively managing and implementing projects. A
Requirements document is mandatory. 2.) Examine your service
provider's requirements document and verify that it truly
reflects your needs. 3.) Evaluate the development methodology
for good processes. Ask your service provider/developer to
submit their methodology and project plan. You can be assured
that if your partner has well-developed processes, you will have
a quality output. 4.) In outsource models; communication is a
very crucial aspect. Please ensure that your developer has clear
and excellent communication channels. 5.) Ensure that the scope
of the project is well defined. Often, there are conflicts
resulting out of poor understanding of the scope by either party.
6.) Evaluate your development partner to see if they understand
your business model. A service provider who sees the bigger
picture of your business is always the better choice. His value
additions can go beyond your specifications.
