外包策略分为onshore，nearshore和offshore。
Onshore
Onshore外包指的是将项目外包给所在国内的团队。
常见的onshoring实践是大城市群的开发公司将项目外包给小城市的团队。
然而这种转译的成本未必能得到明显降低。但是onshore可使雇主接触最好的人才并确保终端产品的品质。
Nearshore
Nearshore是将项目外包给邻国。
Nearshore是在降低开发成本和与团队保持顺畅沟通之间做的良好妥协。
Nearshore不需要担心时差、差旅成本或语言障碍。
Offshore
对多数人来说，offshoring等同于外包。
Offshore是最经济的外包方式，其雇佣了较低劳动力成本国家的开发团队。
Offshore是以更低成本接触天才开发者的方式，同时也因为文化隔阂和时差提升了工作复杂度。
Software Development Best Practices
Regardless of the software development methodology or outsourcing strategy you choose, here a few key best practices to follow in the software industry:
Don’t overcomplicate the development process: Keeping it simple is one of the fundamental rules of software development. It’s already a complicated, lengthy, costly process. Try to avoid making it more so by overcomplicating your development process with side projects and unnecessary practices. The general rule of thumb is: if it doesn’t bring value to the end product, you don’t need it.
Test everything: One tiny mistake in the development process can do serious damage not only to your project, but to your entire business. This is why it is important to test your work every step of the way. Spending some time and resources on testing the latest version of the software you’re developing can help you resolve potential issues before they arise.
Be realistic about your resources: Your resources most likely aren’t infinite, so make sure to use them appropriately but without overstretching your potential. Developing a realistic estimate of the resources you have available for a project will remove the unnecessary pressure from your team and will allow you to deliver the best work possible.
Set consistent standards for your team: Last but not least, make sure that every stakeholder in the project shares the same understanding of the standards you’re aiming for with your development process. This will allow for better collaboration across your team and will help you stay competitive in the volatile software industry.
