Offshore software development offers huge potential for cost savings and access to skilled talent—but without strong project management, even the best technical teams can fail to deliver.
At NKKTech Global (NKKテックグローバル), we understand that managing offshore development is not just about writing code. It’s about communication, transparency, and aligning expectations from day one.
In this article, we’ll show how effective offshore development project management is the key to success—and how our team at NKKTech Global has helped Japanese clients launch projects smoothly and on time.
Common Project Management Challenges in Offshore Development
Many companies choose offshore development for efficiency but encounter common pitfalls, such as:
- Miscommunication due to language or cultural gaps
- Lack of clear progress reporting
- Delayed timelines and missed deadlines
- Ambiguous requirements or changing specs
- Inexperienced offshore PMs or no dedicated PM at all
That’s why choosing a partner with a strong project management framework is critical.
