Offshore Scrum (Dos and Don’ts)


Best practices
  • Make sure to filter and select the right talents for the team
  • Create overlapping business hours for the offshore team with onsite resources.
  • Enable close communication between onsite teams using agile catalyst
  • Create measurement metrics for the team (ex: Capacity, productivity, defects created, code rework hours, communication lapse, code quality index)
  • Create continuous improvement for the team based on sprint retrospect
  • Daily progress report and time reporting for status
  • Daily standup meeting with offshore
  • Frequent offshore and onsite travel
  • Daily review of all deliverables and daily feedback mechanisms
  • Tracking offshore created reworks
  • Maintaining WIKI based issue register for all impediments.
  • Selecting a right vendor is the most important one of all
Practices to be discouraged
  • Offshore only team with no onsite oversight
  • Offshore team with no access to domain knowledge
  • Set of offshore hidden factors also need to be avoided
