Communication Skills
Recent surveys state that 6 out of 10 outsourcing web developers waste more time in communicating the information and interpreting the client’s message, more than the time spent in actually developing and finishing the project, the reason (in most of the cases) being poor communication skills of the project manager or the team members. It is advisable that the web development company you are handing the assignment to, provides you with a Project Management Team which has good communication skill in the business language (English) and the ability to understand your expectations and data in less time.
Dedicated Team
Most of the web development companies today provide ‘
Dedicated Resource for web application development services’ to each client for his respective project, and that dedicated team is literally dedicated towards working for the client’s project for that particular duration and doesn’t involve in other projects of their company. Make sure that your web developer works only for you, for which you pay a lot.
Open Management Policy
Not just transparency of processes, but full control over the Project Management Team is given to you and you dictate the team straight. You could get innovative and technical inputs from their side and give them a small percentage of ‘go ahead without my signal’ power in smaller tasks. But still, at the end of the day you have all authority to mold the shape of the project management as you say. One of the most established and well known web development company that I have come across is Contus Support since I have heard a lot of positive feedback from people who have used the latter’s dedicated resource(s).
Efficient Time Management
Project management teams give a strategic time line to run the project development, which possesses healthy properties such as utilizing every hour exhaustively, swapping tasks to suitable hours, filling free hours with smaller tasks and taking measures to counter issues during emergency situations to avoid time wastage. In case if it is possible I would suggest you to demand your web development firm for a detailed time plan, examining of which will make you decide to give the company the project or not.
Status of experience
Google the name of the
web development company, read forums about them, watch their corporate videos in You Tube, preview their sample projects, chat with the support team. Try every possible way to find out if you are making the right choice of web development company. Keep the pessimist alarm always on in your mind, pin point every single minus point you see.
Periodic QA Monitoring
Demand the web development firm for a solid procedure of QA monitoring by a QA person (who is not in your dedicated team) for monitoring the quality of the project functions at each stage, leading to the summative quality at the end.
