COLLABORATION >> Managed tasks
Mechanism –
* An initial estimate of cost and time are worked out after understanding the customer needs
* Development charges are mutually agreed upon and billed to the client at a periodic (say weekly, monthly) interval based on task completion
Suitability and benefits –
* There is flexibility in defining the scope of the work depending on the customer need
* The offshore work could be increased or decreased as per the task priorities and other constraints
* This mode is beneficial in cases where changes in initial requirements are anticipated (say, prototype development)
