However one plans, timely product delivery invariably involves last minute superhuman efforts. How will this be done?
  In our experience, outsourced development teams can be almost equally dedicated as your local teams giving an arm and a leg to make the product launches successful. We have s een this accomplished by consciously working with the outsourced team members as if they are members of your own teams and thereby building the level of ownership in them. Some simple steps include:
  Tools and Practices:
 
  • Treat them as an extension of your team and not as a vendor. Work with every team member to get more done through careful communication and understanding individual motivations.
  • In the monthly reviews outlined previously, share other business updates that can boost morale give a sense of project ownership to the outsourced team members.
  • Share your sales cycles with them, so that they feel like a part of the winning team.
   
  When you go through these steps, your outsourced team members will be motivated to put in those superhuman efforts.
