Tips to Make Nearshore Application Development Smoother

When offering nearshore outsourcing development, we analyzed the effectiveness of different approaches and identified the best practices shared below. If you want to run a nearshore team without friction, you should have clear product requirements, assign a project manager, continuously stay in touch with your nearshore team, and follow other tips.

Incorporate them into your processes. If you have an in-house engineering team and hire nearshore engineers as an extension, make sure to align their work. It will make the collaboration more productive and help avoid miscommunication or overlapping responsibilities.
Ensure you can provide the necessary access at the project start. Delayed access is a major issue that slows nearshore development teams and delivery. To avoid prolonged downtime, you must set up project access governance beforehand.
Set clear goals and timelines. Specify the deliverables, deadlines, and success metrics in the contract and communicate them to the nearshore software company you partner with. It helps both parties to stay on the same page and achieve the expected result.
Use collaboration software and standardized processes. Remote team members should use the same tools, documents, coding standards, and workflows. It simplifies management and benefits productivity.
Have a project manager. Assign a project manager yourself or ask the nearshore development team to provide one. This role is essential for coordinating the engineering team and stakeholders throughout the project, monitoring software quality, and meeting deadlines.
Schedule reporting and regular meetings. Consider working in sprints and holding weekly or biweekly status meetings. However, make sure these meetings bring real value and help track the progress and coordinate the team. There is no point in gathering the nearshore development team just for the sake of a meeting.
