Top 5 Outsourcing Mistakes to Avoid

Outsourcing software development can be a game-changer—but only when done right. These are the five most common mistakes companies make, and how you can steer clear of them.

1. Vague Requirements: Start with detailed specs and clear KPIs.
2. Choosing by Cost Alone: Cheap can be expensive in the long run.
3. Poor Communication Channels: Use Slack, Jira, and set regular check-ins.
4. No Code Reviews: Always include QA and peer reviews in your process.
5. Ignoring Time Zones: Choose partners that overlap your working hours.

Slitwave helps clients avoid these pitfalls by focusing on clear communication, high standards, and strategic alignment.
