How can you scale your project to meet the resource demands, while staying within budget, meeting your timeline, and avoiding the headache of managing more people? I think offshoring is the best option when you need more human capital for a project. What do you think about offshoring? I wrote the guide where I gave the five steps to effectively outsourcing development projects http://bit.ly/2iYC4OI And what do you do when your project demands more resources?

Question is totally dependent on your industry and nature of your work. I imagine IT is fairly easy to offshore but the lack of synergy and communication demands complicates it to the point where there has to be a very clear business case to offshore.

In general I would comment that, bar a few industries, the offshoring trend is seeing a slow down as countries put brakes on the job losses associated with it. Costs of typically cheaper labor countries are also on the increase so unless there is a very good reason I would hesitate.
In South Africa we would look to rather use such an opportunity to create jobs and upliftment if possible considering it may stretch the schedule and perhaps have cost and quality implications.
