I used to think offshore development was just about hiring cheaper developers. But when we adopted agile methods and tried to run everything offshore, the cracks started to show. Stand-ups got messy, stories were misunderstood, and every sprint felt like a game of telephone. I learned the hard way that agile isn’t something you can bolt onto any team and expect magic. It needs strong communication, cultural awareness, and real collaboration, none of which happen by accident. What changed for us was working with a team that actually understood how agile works offshore and didn’t just talk the talk. They took time to sync with our way of working, helped us build a shared rhythm, and showed us that with the right partner, offshore agile can actually improve your flow. I found real value in this guide on agile practices that work offshore at https://ncube.com/agile-development-offshore-how-to-excel-in-it worth a read if you’re tired of repeating the same mistakes.
