Planning
The scope of work might not be understood by the outsourcing service provider until the client comes up himself or sends some representative to help the service provider understand the work. The client must come up with the following:
1. Scope of project
2. Effort required
3. Time frames
4. Targets
5. Project milestones.
In software development projects, project milestones are popular because they specify both deliverables and the dates those deliverables are due. However, it often requires feasibilty study to be conducted, if the milestones can be achieved or not.
The benefits of conducting feasibility studies in software projects are:
1. Software requirements specifications are clarified and agreed upon before development work is undertaken;
2. Features can be reconciled with available budgets;
The project can be canceled at an early stage if it is found to not be feasible to undertake as intended.An incomplete or improper Software requirement specification can act as a base for failure of the project.
