The critical success factor for having effective outsourcing is to have tangible measurement associated with the deliverable. The above are trilateral measurements associated with each deliverable spanning across all support levels.

Quantification of Deliverables

The requirements for the services are well-defined and fulfillment is measured quantitatively. Thus each of the deliverable and its associated parameter is quantified. A Sample Deliverable Parameter Matrix is shown:

Maintenance is a Service intensive activity providing application and product support. It is highly human intensive activity and thus is more relation-oriented (as against task oriented in a project) between the organizations. Product support is envisaged and rendered as a multi-level activity. Each level has relevant deliverables associated with it (similar to project).

Each or many activities in each support level (L1..L3) has a defined Software Process and lifecycle associated with it. Lifecycle depicts the Process flow while each process has discrete steps. Each step has Inputs, Tasks, and Outputs and associated metrics that can be used to stipulate entry and exit conditions.

Any sample Lifecycle includes Enhancement, Defect fix, Porting, Usage support and New development.
