There’s a widening gap between best practice and standard practice in global software product development—and there are good reasons for the gap. To further explore these best practices, Ness Software Product Labssm has developed a three-part series on the art, science, and collaboration best practices that drive successful partnerships with global software product engineering third parties.
In this brief we analyze how long-term success in multi-shore software product development is heavily dependent on deep collaboration—that is, meaningful, consistent, ongoing collaboration at multiple levels between the software firm and third-party provider as well as within each organization.
We also explore four key factors that make for effective collaboration:
- Adopt a collaboration mindset
- Apply the principles of a program management office
- Deliberately transfer knowledge
- Ensure strong governance
