Euvic Talks: Why Software Development Outsourcing Fails (And What The Best Partners Do Instead)

Описание: What really makes a software development project successful?
On-time delivery? Staying within budget? Shipping more features?

In this episode of Euvic Talks, we challenge the traditional outsourcing model and explain why it often fails, even when the code is high quality and delivered exactly as specified.

Inspired by our article on software project success, this conversation explores:
Why most outsourcing partnerships optimize for output instead of outcomes
The “feature factory” problem and why nearly half of built features are never used
Whether time zone differences are truly a risk
How to choose a development team that aligns with business goals
What a Product Solutions Manager (PSM) actually does
Why the PSM role becomes even more critical in the age of AI

How to choose the right technology partner? We also share practical conclusions:
1. Choose a location that is politically stable and strategically aligned with your country.
2. Run a strategic workshop before jumping straight into building the product. Understand the problem before writing code.
3. Check the team’s track record in solving similar business problems and not just delivering features.
4. Look for a partner who asks the right questions and challenges your assumptions.

As AI accelerates development, execution is no longer the bottleneck. Strategic clarity is.
This episode explains how bridging business strategy with technical delivery can turn software investments into measurable business results.
