Avoid common missteps that plague long distance team dynamics and kill ROI.

Distributed development does not have to be a recipe for failure. The ability to effectively leverage distributed teams to deliver great software is a critical capability for most organizations. However, more than 10 years on from the dawn of large-scale distributed outsourcing, results remain, on the whole, sub-par. While a few smart organizations have learned how to set up, manage and utilize high-performing global delivery teams, most struggle to realize the expected benefits from their effort and investment.

In today's marketplace there are literally dozens of choices of geography, provider, and delivery model. This flexibility demands more sophisticated decision-making when it comes to setting up your distributed development sourcing strategy and delivery model.

Join Matt Simons for a discussion that will help you make the right decisions to minimize your risk and maximize your return on investment. You'll learn about factors to consider when choosing what work to do where and tactics to employ to maximize your success.
