Challenges with Outsourced Development Teams
Outsourced development teams can often struggle to fully understand a client's vision, leading to a need for constant oversight. This situation can result in significant time wastage, where founders find themselves micromanaging and scheduling last-minute meetings across different time zones. The ultimate consequence is the delivery of subpar products that do not meet the original expectations, both in terms of functionality and user experience. Businesses facing such challenges should consider working with development teams that offer comprehensive support with specialized roles, enabling a more strategic approach to product development.
