Make the right business connections in the world’s
fastest-growing freelance marketplace.
Choosing the right person to outsource your software development project management to can mean the difference between success and disaster. Poor project management for software development can result in delays in your project schedule, which ultimately leads to financial loss. When outsourcing software development project management, it is imperative to hire someone experienced in managing the project process
from inception to completion, from project analysis to project planning, development testing to project implementation. The biggest decision will be whether to hire an individual or go through a project management firm. If you're a small company or are on a tight budget, offshore outsourcing might also be a good option.
Should You Outsource to an Individual or Go Through a Project Management Firm?
Software development project management firms have their advantages. You will be able to rely on a team of experts, rather than on a single person. You will be assured a replacement if someone has to take time off. Plus, many software development project management firms employ their own software developers, which can lessen your hiring burden if you don't have your own development team to work on the project. The biggest downside of outsourcing to a group is the cost. If you have a small project or are on a tight budget, weigh the costs versus benefits before making your decision.
Should You Outsource Your Software Development Project Management Offshore?
There are some benefits to offshore outsourcing when it comes to hiring someone for managing software development projects. The biggest advantage is that offshore outsourcing is usually much cheaper for the same quality of work. Another benefit is that many offshore software development project management companies employ a whole group of only the most experienced project managers and developers, which gives you the advantage of working with a whole team experienced in exactly what you want for the cost you'd possibly pay for one individual locally. If you do decide to employ the services of an offshore software development project management team, make sure to use one with a proven track record for success specifically in the industry for which your software development project will be used.

Testimonials
"I took a chance one day when I was flush and sent a few bucks to gain access to the Go Freelance Professional Edition. Since then, I've edited a sales letter, a follow-up letter, an 11-page Web site, and a brochure. I'm 'on call' to do pinch-hit proofreading for a medical newsletter editor in Florida ..and I've landed a gig editing a new Canadian magazine coming out this fall. All this from taking a chance on Go Freelance."
