Maximize Quality-to-Cost ratio through agile + nearshore outsourced web development

Having developed software for many years in New York City, we have struggled with contradicting objectives – to reduce our costs and to increase the quality of our work. In other words, we have been striving to maximize our Quality-to-Cost ratio.

Like many other development teams, we’ve been successful in using Agile development (particularly the Scrum methodology) to produce high-quality software that is effective in accomplishing business objectives. The reasons for this are widely discussed. A really good (and free) tool we use to manage our sprints is Pivotal Tracker – free lightweight agile project management and team collaboration.

We have also found that the most effective way to save money without incurring a lot of hassle is by utilizing great talent in South America – often called nearshore outsourcing.

Morpho offers the possibility to combine both of these powerful components resulting in tremendous maximization of your Quality-to-Cost ratio. Our office in Quito, Ecuador is in the same time-zone as eastern United States, which makes daily Scrum meetings possible. In addition, Morpho account managers are experts in team-building, and our developers are good communicators – sharing a relatively similar culture to their counterparts in the US. This helps make daily Scrum meetings not only possible, but easy.
