Outsourced Development

Definitions

1. Product or software development performed by external agencies, contractors, or partner firms rather than by the internal team. It can accelerate execution early, but it often creates long-term ownership and quality challenges if handled poorly.

   In plain English: Having external people or firms build the product instead of an internal team.

   Example: "The MVP was built through outsourced development before the company hired its own engineering team."
