Solution – Choose popular project management methods I.e., agile, scrum etc., Communicate with teams regularly, appoint a project delivery person, do performance reviews often.
Signing a contract keeps things transparent and puts customer-vendor in a safe relationship. Unplanned outsourcing bills, loss of quality control, and compromised data security are some issues to look into.
Solution – Define responsibilities from both parties in a liability clause, notice periods, data protection rules, terms of invoice, governing laws etc.
At every stage of the project, proper knowledge transfer is critical. Initial stages, during project implementation and the project closes, are some points where knowledge sharing is required.
