How was the work with the outsourcing development team organized? Was there a tech lead on your side?

Work with an outsourced development team is usually organized through clear role and communication distribution. It is important to have a tech lead or responsible specialist on the client side who:

• Formulates requirements and monitors their implementation
• Conducts code reviews and architectural discussions
• Coordinates interaction between the internal and external teams

If there is no tech lead on the client side, the responsibility often falls on the project manager or the tech lead of the outsourcing team, which can complicate quality control and compliance with business requirements.

In my experience, it is always desirable to have a tech lead on the client side who understands the business and technical details to make prompt decisions and ensure quality.
