Challenges with Outsourced Development Teams
Collaboration with outsourced development teams can often be fraught with difficulties, particularly if the team fails to fully understand the client’s vision or lacks strategic thinking. This can lead to significant time wasted on micromanagement and late-night calls across different time zones, often resulting in a final product that does not meet expectations. The experience can be particularly frustrating when the delivered application is subpar in performance and user interface, contradicting the initial vision. Companies often confront these challenges and may find that engaging a reliable, skilled team like DevSquad can alleviate these issues, providing dedicated talent from Latin America focused on successful product outcomes.
