Agile outsourcing is a strategic approach that embeds agile principles in the process of outsourcing to bring flexibility, efficiency, and collaboration between a company and its outsourcing partners. It allows companies to respond quickly to changes, optimize work processes, and maintain a high level of innovation and quality in project outcomes. Agile outsourcing seeks to better align the goals of the client with those of the service providers by adopting iterative development, continuous feedback, and cross-functional team principles found in other agile practices. This helps in the creation of more cohesive project teams and successful outcomes, thereby bridging the gap between fast agile cycles and the traditional structure of outsourcing contracts.
