My thoughts of the outsourcing project

It was really unexpected that we finished our outsourcing project!! I could still think of the beginning of the project. I totally had no idea what we were gonna do. What’s the project outline? What would we have to shape the wiki blog? How would we present our project? There were too many questions in my mind. All we could do was put the information we found on the wiki, and then manage our project gradually. It was totally a different, special and interesting experience from other courses. Luckily, we did it finally with the French team.

The most difficult part of the project was that worked with the team on the other side of the earth. At the beginning, I felt that the French team was so lazy and had so many excuses (just as Hongling post the stereotype that Taiwanese see French…haha!) It’s true that we had different time and different schedule. However, things went better after the French team did the midterm. Although we never had interaction with the two member of the French team, at least we all talked to Nelly on line together. That was an improvement and the French team did a lot contribution on the wiki.

Another difficulty was that this was an online work. We did everything online! This could be awful or could be awesome. It might hard to know others thoughts by typing words. It may mislead us.
By experiencing this international work, I leaned that communication was a key factor. We have to try to know others including their backgrounds and cultures before we start. Then we can know how to schedule the work will be more effective.
