Does outsourcing of computer programming need great care ?

By admin | April 9, 2008

ffantasizing asked:

For computer programming, do changes to the development method work ?
One might ask “Does outsourcing of computer programming work ?”, but it’s not only “outsourcing” that is the problem, it’s “(wrong) changes to the development method”.

If you outsource a 1 line change of code, you are really outsourcing a big job.

You are outsourcing the infrastructure.

If you’re not careful, you will be outsourcing “bodgie little changes” to your system.

Why even bother to outsource ? Why not just disband much of the infrastructure of your organisation and issue “bodgie little changes” to your software, whenever required.

Outsourcing a one-line code change can be like outsourcing work involved in defusing a bomb. Pay someone to cut that orange wire.

      The development work and we tell them what to do and come back to do and it was disaster especially because of bad communication skills they were in 12 hour different time zone and come back.
