商品描述

If you need to expand your business but not your budget, if your group has an intense but short-term project, if you don't have the skill set to get a job done-it's time to think about outsourcing. Starting from the first step (should you outsource part of your tech work?) to the last (how can you protect your intellectual property?), you'll learn everything about setting up projects overseas.

Sending your prized assets halfway around the world-or halfway around the country-takes a lot of courage for technical leads accustomed to doing things themselves. This book is full of real-life examples that show you how outsourcing really works.

Learn how to choose your outsourcing destination by defining selection criteria tables and applying weights to them. You'll see how to pick the right vendor and understand why recommendations aren't the right way to do it. Then calculate the quality of the code your offshore developers turn in. You'll find out how to adjust your waterfall or agile project for an overseas team, and you'll see why outsourcing QA is not always the prudent approach. Your offshore team will never be as productive as your local team-you'll learn why that doesn't always matter. Finally, you'll discover how much money you'll spend to outsource and how much you can save-which is sometimes more than you'd think and less than you'd like.

Written by an expert who's seen it all, Outsource It! will help you avoid mistakes and give you the confidence and the skills to take your project wherever it needs to go.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

如果您需要擴展您的業務但預算有限,如果您的團隊有一個緊迫但短期的項目,如果您沒有完成工作所需的技能組合,那麼是時候考慮外包了。從第一步開始(您應該外包部分技術工作嗎?)到最後一步(您如何保護知識產權?),您將學習有關設立海外項目的一切。

對於習慣自己完成工作的技術負責人來說,將寶貴的資產遠距離運送到世界的另一端或國內的另一端需要很大的勇氣。這本書充滿了真實案例,向您展示外包的真實運作方式。

通過定義選擇標準表並對其進行加權,學習如何選擇外包目的地。您將了解如何選擇合適的供應商,並了解為什麼推薦並不是正確的方法。然後計算您的離岸開發人員提交的代碼質量。您將了解如何調整瀑布或敏捷項目以適應海外團隊,並了解為什麼外包QA並不總是明智的選擇。您的離岸團隊可能不會像本地團隊一樣高效,您將了解為什麼這並不總是重要的。最後,您將發現您將花多少錢進行外包以及您可以節省多少錢-有時比您想像的多,但比您期望的少。

《外包吧!》是一位見證過一切的專家所著,它將幫助您避免錯誤,並給您信心和技能,使您的項目能夠走向任何需要的地方。
