Comment solid specifications and lots of communication (Score 1) 737
1. don't expect a normal work day for the next N months. they will be 10-13 hours ahead of you and will want to have meetings early am and late pm.
2. make sure your specs are solid. the adage "garbage in, garbage out" applies here. depending upon what company you go with, quality should never be a problem of itself. many us/indian companies are certified CMM Level 4 and higher. ask for metrics on their development projects' quality (i.e. % bug free?)
3. have meetings twice a day (morn, eve) with the offshore team until you are comfortable with the offshore pm/lead. ask for daily status reports.
not feeling funny today and since this is my bag, i figured i would go for helpful. :-)
