Maintaining control over offshore software development projects involves clear project management practices, including setting detailed objectives, timelines, and deliverables. Offshore software development services should use project management tools like Jira or Asana to track progress and manage tasks. Regular communication, through daily stand-ups or weekly status meetings, keeps teams aligned. Having a dedicated project manager or liaison on the offshore team helps ensure that the project stays on track. Additionally, using version control systems and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines allows companies to monitor development and maintain control over the final product.
