Learning Points
Outsource – break up into small pieces so that nobody get the whole picture of what you are looking at
Definition:
Algomist – like Alchemist reversed, so build up the entire architecture
Pico-coding – break up into small pieces and code
“McDonaldize” the processes and in addition, try to let no one step affect the other step
Chunk it up until the context is gone. People don’t know what it actually iss
Be global from day 1

Positives of Pico-coding
Globalization – Global resources on your hand when you need it
Time to market
Lower cost of development
Make most use of the thinkers instead of spending time coding

Problems & Solutions of Pico-coding
What to do when you need upgrade? Throw away and buy a new one!!
Security of Code: How to ensure that its integrity?
1. Look at ratings – will go south with one entry
2. Code inspection – get someone you trust to do it
Can’t use this model when you are doing a pure innovation
Learning reduced
Core algorithm still has to do in-house
Enterprise software might have a problem because it can’t be fixed immediately
Information security requirements
IP – the coder is supposed to use unique code for everyone

Project Management vs. Global Outsourcing
Project Management starts with resource constrain, global outsourcing is planned with no constrain
