For US engineering leaders evaluating external development partnerships.
Why nearshore matters
Overlapping working hours can reduce delays in collaboration, particularly for discovery sessions, architecture reviews, and issue resolution. The actual overlap depends on location and agreed schedules.
Evaluate delivery ownership
Some partners provide individual contributors while others manage delivery. Ask exactly what responsibilities are included in the engagement.
Review the engineering practices
Discuss testing, documentation, code review, infrastructure access, security controls, and how work is accepted. Request examples that can be shared legitimately.
Begin with a clear first engagement
A focused initial project with measurable outcomes can reveal communication quality and delivery fit before a larger commitment.
