<\/div>\nThis is probably the most important question, and that\u2019s why we put it first. If your development partner is unable to complete your project in the specified way, then find another development partner. Otherwise, your time and money will be sucked into the black hole of development\u2026 without any real results to show for it.<\/p>\n
Remember, prices are signals. If your project is resource-intensive, take it to an agency that has the full resources needed to complete the project. Usually these agencies will charge more than those with fewer resources.<\/p>\n
It might be tempting to go with the \u201cbudget option,\u201d but that\u2019s probably not in your best interests down the road. Although it might seem like a good choice in the short term, project delays and slow development is probably is going to cost your time and money in the long term.<\/p>\n
Other signals to look for:<\/p>\n
Their infrastructure:<\/h3>\n
Do they have the resources to keep developing even in something like a power or internet outage? Is their security weak, or is it robust?<\/p>\n
Their website:<\/h3>\n
Should have case studies and a portfolio of previous work.<\/p>\n
Their processes:<\/h3>\n
What are their solutions to handling employee turnover? How do they treat their developers? What is their project management like?<\/p>\n
How much control will I have?<\/h2>\n![\"How](\"https:\/\/www.capitalnumbers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/CN-How-much-control-will-I-have.jpg\")
<\/div>\nControl of development is the responsibility of both parties, but there\u2019s a careful balance to be struck.<\/p>\n
For one thing, your development partner wants to do good work and gain your trust so you come to them for future resource projects. But interestingly, this desire to please leads to high expectations that can\u2019t be fulfilled. They\u2019re more likely to give you unrealistic deadlines, milestones, and budget constraints because they want to make you happy.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, trying to micromanage the process will be a waste of your energy and focus. This approach may lead to procrastination and communication avoidance on the part of your outsourcing partner \u2014 many developers work best without a lot of scrutiny and with loose management styles.<\/p>\n
You wanted to outsource for reason, so don\u2019t throw all the benefits away because you insist on managing small details. Encourage your outsourcing partner to share any news, even if it\u2019s bad \u2013 as long as it\u2019s honest. And don\u2019t overreact to bad news. Remember, even with the best agencies and in-house teams, projects face setbacks.<\/p>\n
In any case, your outsourcing agency should communicate with you regularly and frequently. Make sure to ask about your their communication processes. What sort of workflows do they have in place to keep you in the loop?<\/p>\n
By clearly communicating expectations and budget constraints, you\u2019ll be able to eliminate most control and communication problems before they occur.<\/p>\n
How reliant am I on one point of contact or developer?<\/h2>\n![\"How](\"https:\/\/www.capitalnumbers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/CN-How-reliant-am-I-on-one-point-of-contact-or-developer.jpg\")
<\/div>\n\u201cPutting all your eggs in one basket\u201d is a losing proposition. What happens when you drop the basket and the eggs break?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s much the same in development. If all your work is given to a single employee or a single developer, what happens if they get fired, get sick, or go to another agency?<\/p>\n
What happens if their skills are insufficient for your project?<\/p>\n
Again, this is a point on which to carefully question your outsourcing partner. An agency should have the resources to quickly ramp up for your project, and also to replace workers as needed with very little onboarding time. If they can\u2019t, the development will rely entirely on the strength of a single person or a single small team.<\/p>\n
Make sure to carefully check the opportunity costs inherent in a change developers or systems.<\/p>\n
What are the costs (hidden or otherwise)?<\/h2>\n![\"What](\"https:\/\/www.capitalnumbers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/CN-What-are-the-costs.jpg\")
<\/div>\nKeep in mind there are many different payment models, and no single model will fit every situation.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s common for entrepreneurs to insist on a fixed-price model, but that\u2019s rarely the best choice. Problems arise and require more hours and more money to solve. The outsourcing agency will not give you more work for the same amount of money, but you as a client want as much done as possible. As such, negotiation problems and project delays become common under this model.<\/p>\n
Per-hour payments are fairly common for outsourcing. Under this model, you would get an estimate, but the actual cost may vary. A good agency will keep transparent records and bill each each developer at an hourly rate.<\/p>\n
Another model is the \u201cdesign and build model\u201d in which you \u201cpurchase\u201d the product from the agency outright, and they have an incentive to make it as competitive on the market as possible, since they own the IP.<\/p>\n
In summary, get an understanding of which model will best suit your project. Pay attention to how the company provides estimates and how do they describe the way of money distribution. Your development partner should be able to work with you to find one that works for both of you.<\/p>\n
How secure will my project be?<\/h2>\n![\"How](\"https:\/\/www.capitalnumbers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/CN-How-secure-will-my-project-be.jpg\")
<\/div>\nIf your development partner doesn\u2019t have legitimate ways to protect your security, you should take your business to someone who does. Crime exists in the digital space just as it does in the physical world, and your data and proprietary software must be protected at all costs.<\/p>\n
Ask your outsourcing agency about what processes are in place to protect your security and your privacy. They should have redundant protections from malicious parties. Firewalls, malware protection, and intruder detection are just the start.<\/p>\n
For example, Capital Numbers has layers of digital security, including updated firewalls, monitoring systems and gateways working at all times to keep your data and your projects safe. We also keep it all safe behind layers of physical security \u2014 we have guards, controlled access points, and constant surveillance. While this measure of security is unique among outsourcing agencies, it offers clients valuable peace of mind.<\/p>\n
You might feel the same. Even if you don\u2019t insist on the exact level of security we have, make sure ask about the security processes of your development partner. Otherwise, you might be left without recourse if something happens to your information.<\/p>\n
Conclusion:<\/h2>\n
It\u2019s easy to get excited about a project and want to rush headlong into development. However, do your research first. Most agencies will offer a free consultation beforehand to see if you\u2019re a fit to work together. This is the time to ask these questions and make sure your project will be kept within your control, secure, private, and safe.<\/p>\n
