The effectiveness of the work of an offshore team depends largely on implementing the right offshore team management practices which will coordinate all work processes. An agile methodology is a particular approach to project management that emphasizes collaboration, flexibility, continuous improvement, and high-quality results. It provides an efficient and flexible approach to software development and to help teams produce better software.

Hiring an offshore development team allows startups to build a high-quality MVP while saving their funds and time. However, managing offshore teams involves a set of specific challenges such as culture, communication, multiple locations and time zones, task management, discipline, and control. Therefore, it requires an efficient agile methodology that would allow distributed teams to work effectively.

Advantages

Better Customer Satisfaction

Customers are more likely to be satisfied and happy when they get the products delivered faster in every release. It permits them to get involved in the software development through iterative planning, feedback sessions and regular software build containing the new features

Improved Product Quality

Agile development integrates daily testing throughout the software development lifecycle. By creating frequent builds, and administering testing and reviews for each sprints, they maintain excellent quality of their product

Promotes Team Collaboration and Interaction

An agile team is efficient at getting things done because they promote a collaborative environment and accountability. Team members understand their individual contributions are valuable to the completion of the project. When everyone knows what tasks they need to focus on, the team can move forward together from product development to its release.

Increased Adaptability

It’s important for distributed agile teams to remain flexible when requirements, business needs, and technology change. This will delight both the team and stakeholders knowing that their skills are optimized for quality product delivery.

Scalable Timeframe and Cost

Time and cost are the top factors to consider when a company decides whether to take a new project or not. Using agile in project management can help companies gather their resources and delegate the right people to the right project based on priority.

How we work

Define the product vision

It is necessary for offshore teams to ensure that the tasks to be completed on-time. There should be a clear product vision before starting the development cycle. It helps to build a comprehensive work strategy or the Scope of Work (SOW). The Scope of Work should contain the milestones, reports, and timeline for all deliverables that are expected to be provided by the team.
This allows the product development to be more flexible and makes it easier to change the priority of tasks depending on the user feedback and other external factors.

Create a clear product roadmap

A product roadmap is a high-level view of the requirements needed to achieve the product vision. A product roadmap should be flexible enough, to adapt the rigid deadlines and functionalities that may vary on the speed of the development process, user requirements, and other external factors. Here, the main goal is to create a clear picture of the process of product development that would be available for all members of the offshore development team. The development process is divided into short iterations called sprints. For each sprint, a list of tasks is created with description and time estimates

Conduct regular demonstrations

A demonstration of the immediate result is to be held at the end of each sprint. The main aim of the demonstration is to showcase what the team has achieve during the sprint and to understand whether the team performance meets the expected requirements. The product owner or the project manager should give the team constructive feedback and make sure that it is documented.
All the members of the software development team should be actively involved in the demo, there is a continuous level of collaboration between all parties, which is especially important for distributed teams.

Invest in remote tools

Working with remote tools helps offshore development teams to be more effective. Remote tools as Trello, Slack, and JIRA help agile development team to make the collaboration workflow easy and seamless. These tools helps keep the entire team on the same page, despite the differences in locations and time zones, which makes them essential for offshore team management.

Daily stand-ups to collaborate with team members

The goal of daily standups is to share the goals for the day and set agendas, as well as discuss any problems that have arisen during software development. Such regular short meetings could be a simple yet effective way of ensuring the entire distributed agile team is in sync.
