When you outsource the development of your product, communication is key. Otherwise, you may find yourself with under-performing software that no one is happy with. Let’s go over how the right communication may help you get what you paid for - bespoke software tailored to your needs.
I recently got into men’s fashion. One of the key steps for me was having all of my current clothes tailored, and tailoring any new piece of clothing as soon as I bought it. It took me some time, however, to trust my tailor. I once tried to go against their advice and push on them my idea of how short a t-shirt should be. I now have a crop-top.
This experience, coupled with me currently working with a premium software development company, made me realize how similar the processes of bespoke software outsourcing and tailoring are. Both require an open communication between you and the service provider, a level of trust, and time to get things right.
But when all the pieces finally fit, you’re left with a product that works exactly how you wanted and is made to fit all your requirements. Sometimes it even fits requirements that you didn’t know you had.
