Proving the agile approach for Software Outsourcing is effective can be difficult to convince senior management. There are many people honestly skeptical because they are afraid that it would be another fad of Software Development. Into the proof question, the technological curve represents critical insight that are described in the groundbreaking book of “Crossing the Chasm“, and the curve shows differences among five technological adopter types. There are early adopters that pursues new concepts early in the life-cycle and the majority who wait and see to buy new concept, while the late majority are concerned about the ability to handle concept so that Software Outsourcing process will be a thought to adopt and develop. And, finally laggards, that do not require anything with these new approach.The early adopters and innovators are very comfortable to think about the new concept for a while and after that tailoring it for environment of Outsourcing process. While the Software Development techniques are being adopted by companies that fit those profiles, and now in the early majority some companies are testing the wings in pilot projects. The community of agile is actively and positively reaching out to executives, noted for demand, strong proof is generally made by people working in companies that fit in late majority and laggard profiles, and, as Software Outsourcing became the main stream.The research found that releasing of earlier result in the life-cycle seems to contribute lower defect rate with higher productivity for Software Outsourcing, and at the same time also revealed for weak relationship between the lower-defect rate and completeness in detailed design-specification. The example, tells that scope management that related to waterfall practices that includes detailed design up front, was the single largest factor for failure contribution.

Existing research work is not completely convincing, despite of the encouraging offerings. Rather than specifically addressing agile approaches, much of that compares traditional waterfall approaches with Software Development. Although secondly the books have mentioned effectively summary and the existing research process that much remains to be examined during software outsourcing.
