HOW CAN YOU MANAGE OUTSOURCED PROJECTS?

Outsourcing comes with many benefits, but to make it a long-term development, outsourcing needs a good management strategy to be followed by both client and service provider.
It’s not as hard as you imagine!
Let go through this article to see how we and our partners manage outsourced projects.
  1. Use a Global Cloud Storage:
Cloud storage provides many benefits and greater convenience for both you and us. It is typically available from any system anywhere at any time and we don’t have to worry about operating system capability or complex allocation processes.
At Aidedo, we use Dropbox and Google Drive. Both of them work well for storing files. It’s also easy to access and use those cloud storages.
  1. Communicate Effectively:
Keeping in touch regularly is important for processing projects, because you need to make sure outsourcing provider understand the project’s requirements, details of tasks clearly.
Also, we do regular video chats to have face to face interaction, develop a solid relationship and rapport with team that ensures alignment on objectives and milestones.
At Aidedo, we use tools like Skype, Slack, Google Hangouts to make it so easy to stay connected and interact with teammates.
  1. Update Knowledge:
To increase the overall quality of work continuously, we need to improve all aspects of a project such as Style, CAD Standard, Design Guide, Project Schedule, etc… by markups, notes, video meetings, training documents.
At Aidedo, we take notes all common mistakes, frequent questions, solutions to solve problems. Especially, we build a data library including blocks, details, styles, layers, linetypes, training materials for next uses. It saves you and us a lot of time.
  1. Manage Performances:
Regularly check the progress, quality and make timely comments to improve the quality of output products.
Outsourcing provider is responsible for clarifying project requirements by asking questions, discussing to have the best solution for each project.
At Aidedo, we check the progress daily to make sure each project meets output quality and milestones. We also coordinate with teammates to apply the best solutions in order to save time and budget for our clients.
  1. Manage Costs:
One of the most important reasons for choosing an outsourcing service is cost-saving. So both you and the service provider would earn considerable profit. Make sure that the price is negotiated before outsourcing your projects.
