Extreme Outsourcing
Abstract
As companies are looking at reducing their software development cost, they are increasingly turning to offshore outsourcing to take advantage of lower wages overseas. This paper looks at this and another major trend in software development, agile development methodologies, to determine whether the practices of the most common agile methodology, extreme programming, can support offshore outsourcing. The paper concludes that while some practices are easily implemented, others require a great deal of consideration and may not be feasibly implemented at all. Offshore outsourcing can benefit from extreme programming practices by achieving higher visibility into the development process.
