DELIVERING PROJECTS WITH MIXED TEAMS

Delivering Multi-site Multi-vendor Projects with Mixed Teams

Join The Byte has been working with software vendors and non-software companies on projects with teams located in different parts of the world. While distributed development allows teams to develop high quality software, leading to improved business agility, the challenges are significant. You need to:

  • Accurately communication and unambiguously across the barriers imposed by travel distance, multi-languages, or cultures – or all of these factors;
  • Managing dimensions of the software development lifecycle – requirements, change, testing, coding, etc. – in a distributed environment.

Join The Byte can help, we know perfectly well how to ensure that there will be no overlaps and conflicting delivery commitments.
