The basic concern of the company which intends to outsource its software development is the question of whether it is going to achieve the required quality. The answer is simple, the quality mainly depends on the choice of the outsourcing partner. The outsourcing partner has to be proactively involved in the development. The joint goal has to be the success of the final product and not merely closing the tasks in the project management software. All this requires a deeper understanding of the problem and of the project domain itself. The partner should clearly understand business goals, functions and processes. This involves a lot of communication, especially at the very beginning. Most failures are rooted in simple misunderstandings, often because common terms are interpreted differently and nobody is aware that the conversation is off-track.
