For companies considering offshore development for the first time, the journey comes with various concerns. In particular, communication issues arising from language and cultural differences pose significant challenges. There are also worries about whether the development quality will meet domestic standards. Additionally, many companies struggle with the difficulties of progress management in a remote environment and dealing with time zone differences.
Finding a reliable development company and ensuring cost transparency are also major concerns. Questions about legal contracts and the protection of intellectual property rights can be significant obstacles to advancing offshore development. Furthermore, it is essential to consider the impact of different cultural backgrounds on the project.
Given these many uncertainties and questions associated with first-time offshore development, it is crucial to find steps that lead to success.
The key to successful offshore development lies in meticulous planning from the preparation stage and effective communication.
By clearly defining the project’s objectives and requirements, and having a shared vision among all stakeholders, discrepancies in expectations can be avoided, allowing for smooth progress.
In this article, AIoT, which operates offshore development projects in Vietnam, introduces the sixth step of a seven-step process on how to proceed with offshore development, along with practical insights.
Step 6: Implementation of Progress Management and Quality Control
After the development starts, regular progress management and quality control become crucial.
Let’s aim to conduct regular checks with this focus in mind!
- Conduct weekly regular meetings
- Measure and evaluate quality metrics
- Review risk management and risk mitigation strategies
- Manage and follow up on issues
A common issue seen in companies that fail in offshore development is the mindset of “it’s acceptable because it’s offshore,” leading to a delay in resolving problems. They often wait until issues escalate, then expend significant resources to address them. Because it’s offshore, it’s even more important to be vigilant about issues and manage progress carefully.
At AIoT, we don’t believe that all responsibilities lie solely with the client. We take a proactive approach to address even minor issues with a strong sense of ownership. This means we can execute projects with engineers whose mindset closely aligns with that of Japanese professionals compared to other locations!
