Book Description
If you need to expand your business but not your budget, if your group
has an intense but short-term project, if you don’t have the skill set
to get a job done-it’s time to think about outsourcing. Starting from
the first step (should you outsource part of your tech work?) to the
last (how can you protect your intellectual property?), you’ll learn
everything about setting up projects overseas.
Sending your prized assets halfway around the world-or halfway around
the country-takes a lot of courage for technical leads accustomed to
doing things themselves. This book is full of real-life examples that
show you how outsourcing really works.
Learn how to choose your outsourcing destination by defining selection
criteria tables and applying weights to them. You’ll see how to pick the
right vendor and understand why recommendations aren’t the right way to
do it. Then calculate the quality of the code your offshore developers
turn in. You’ll find out how to adjust your waterfall or agile project
for an overseas team, and you’ll see why outsourcing QA is not always
the prudent approach. Your offshore team will never be as productive as
your local team-you’ll learn why that doesn’t always matter. Finally,
you’ll discover how much money you’ll spend to outsource and how much
you can save-which is sometimes more than you’d think and less than
you’d like.
Written by an expert who’s seen it all, Outsource It! will help you
avoid mistakes and give you the confidence and the skills to take your
project wherever it needs to go.
