Cultural alignment means your in-house and extended software development teams have a common understanding of why, how, and when they are doing things. Company culture touches the inner workings of the team and affects the quality of the finished products. It’s a quick way to identify what is important, unimportant, or what to prioritize, when working as a team.
Developing software products under a Nearshoring model offers the added value of real-time communication with your extended team. Geographic proximity enables all software engineers to have a similar working schedule for fast problem-solving, a necessity in Agile Engineering.
The goal of aligning your team is to have everyone pursuing the same objective. A shared culture maintains an open channel for communication, creates ownership, and fosters natural leadership.
In a culturally aligned team, developers can flourish. They are highly invested and start thinking of the future; creating a long-term relationship with their team and product.
Make sure you share company cultural values with the vendor that will extend your team.
