I’m exploring the idea of custom software development outsourcing for my business. I’ve heard mixed reviews about it. Could someone explain the main advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing software development compared to keeping it in-house? How does it impact overall project management and costs?

One thing I’d add is that outsourcing can be particularly advantageous if you need to scale your development resources quickly without the long-term commitment of hiring full-time staff. But, as mentioned, make sure you choose a reputable partner and establish clear communication channels. From my experience, a mixed approach where you keep critical components in-house and outsource non-core tasks can balance the benefits and drawbacks effectively.
