Outsourcing 3.0 stickers
60 test stickers flew out in 40 seconds after my talk at AgileBaseCamp on Outsourcing 3.0: product development in offshore.
The slogan is "I AM CHANGING OFFSHORE TO PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT" means not leaving the place you currently work for. Instead, it is about changing the way it operates. By engaging yourself in the process of product design.

How not building walls in offshore development
- See at your offshore teams as your own developers
- Have the offshore teams working on projects and products and not only simple tasks
- There have to be a change agent in the onshore organization on all level to facilitate the offshore setup
- Have a Offshore coach to help the offshore team(s)
- Have a very good Product Owner that understand working with agile and Scrum
- Have small offshore teams
- The Product owner must visit the offshore teams on a regular basis
- Make sure everybody understands both the onshore and offshore culture
- Hire a local agent to work offshore with same background as the offshore team
- Involve the Offshore team before going agile
- Do complete financial calculations before starting offshore
- Build motivation and domain knowledge by showing the offshore teams how their software is used (the software they are developing)
- Find a good offshore partner to have a long term relationship

Separate daily standups from status meetings
Daily stand-ups are by the team for the team to exchange news, statuses, issues, and help to coordinate planning on daily basis.
Status calls are for management to get updated on the progress and got necessary issues escalated to be taken care of at higher levels.
Mixing these two meetings simple kills the benefits of the stand-up by turning it into another status meeting.
It is recommended to separate these two events in time.
So that the stand-up is done locally by all team members, literally standing in front of a task board and talking in their native language.
The status meeting (or a call) can be done right after it with limited number of attendees, using teleconferencing tools at hand.

invest in high quality conferencing
Companies that claim to be having healthy relationship with their offshore teams move toward high-quality conference solutions like HDTV, instead of free solutions like Skype.
