1)Stakeholder involvement states each task needs to be broken down to 2 week increments..this means that no task should take longer than 2 weeks if it does
the bottlenecks should be identified and cleared up
2)Prioritisation of tasks..most of the time offshore houses will code up something
and toss it over the wall back to production. Stakeholders may say this is not what i asked for..if documentation and language translation come last say so in the task schedule..remember this is your money so you need to be pro-active about whats important and what can wait
3)Assignment of resources can be re-adjusted..this happens alot in offshore situations where a new recruit just off the streets doesnt undertand the intricacies of the problem domain..most acute in Scientific, Financial or HealthCare sectors..Having an Analyst that understands the domain is critical to ensuring the requirement from the business requirement translates to clear verifiable testable technical requirement
