So this was my first client project with a new company, that leveraged 'offshore' developers to aid in the development efforts. First observations, offshore contractors introduced a much higher number of defects than company FTE's, most were less than active participants during sprint/epic/user story conf calls (unless called out by the SM/PM/EL), the majority of them were not accountable for their own code reviews, causing major delays in deploy-able product. Yes their billable rate was 50% of that of the FTE consultants and devs, however their output was close to 35% of the FTE dev team. Is this normal? How do you eliminate these problems mid-project when they do not listen/respond appropriately to EL/PM directives and client requests? (putting my flame suit on now) TIA.
Ask them to do the needful and they will revert back with the right fixes.
This is typical, and nothing for it unless you are in a decision making role for said company.
The argument for offshoring is that, it’s not efficient in first year. But eventually output to cost ratio makes sense
I'm guessing the old adage 'you get what you pay for' applies here.....
