One of the biggest risks in choosing an IT outsourcing company is when the decision is guided by the low price. The low price could be an indication of less than stellar IT resources in the team. Every project requires a project manager, a database developer, Front/Backend or full stack developers, and designers. Most organizations outsource software projects cos it is hard to maintain such a team strength. Make sure your tech partner has them and look at each of their credentials. Up to 20% of the overall project budget can be spent on project management - it does not come cheap. Often to cut corners an IT outsourcing firm might forgo having a good project management team and it often results in more harm than good and that’s reflected in missed project milestones and poor communication with the client. Remember that Agile processes need a full-strength team. We have seen many cases of the wrong tech stack and architecture chosen leading to an ultimate project failure. For example, if the chosen tech stack cannot handle the project's scale or complexity, it may result in poor performance, frequent crashes, and other technical issues that hamper the project's progress. The only way to resolve it would be to refactor it from scratch. This is the point when organizations decide to look around for another technology vendor. The reasons for project failure are sometimes caused by the client. For example, if a client provides incomplete or vague project requirements, and is unavailable for discussions and feedback, it can be challenging for the development team to deliver a successful project.
