About Software development outsourcing
Outsourcing fails for predictable reasons: requirements that were never written down, a team you cannot reach in your own working hours, and a handover at the end that turns out to be a zip file.
It works when the specification is agreed in writing before code starts, when you talk to the people doing the work rather than an account manager, and when the repository is in your account from day one so there is nothing to hand over at all.
