TESTIMONIALS

Victor has spent enough time in the trenches to know what works and what doesn't. Unlike many, he's taken the time to analyse the outcomes and distill those lessons in such a way as people new to outsourcing development should be able to side-step many of the riskiest aspects. A 'must read' if you're considering this kind of move.
James MayesCo-Founder & CEO, Mind The Product

Outsourcing isn't easy, and the industry is fraught with failed projects. Victor has established himself as an up-and-coming thought leader and is changing the typical commodity focus of a client/vendor relationship to one based on trust. In this book, Victor shares his experiences and provides practical and actionable advice on the benefits, best practices, and pitfalls to avoid when outsourcing. It should be a go-to resource for anyone who is new to - or wants to brush up on - outsourcing.

Amazing step by step playbook for anyone interested in learning about creating a software product by outsourcing the work. Victor Purolnik is beyond helpful and is so willing to help and offer any help / answer any questions. Definitely worth your time! Hanson Cheng Entrepreneur This book isn't just 'some good information' - this is a REFERENCE book for hiring tech teams. The author covers the conceptual levels, but also hits all the details and implementation methods you'll need. Fantastic read. It's not often I learn this much in such a short period of time. This is an 'info-dense' book that's a fun read and makes it obvious the author is a true expert.

Easy to read, no-fluff guide to understanding the world of "offshoring". Gained some amazing insights about management after reading this. You can tell it was written by a developer with business experience as well.

Great book for non-technical founders, with some very interesting tips even those with more experience managing technical teams may not have considered. Definitely worth a read if you want to make sure your project goes smooth.

People come to me for my expertise about building systems and outsourcing. But when I wanted to personally learn more about outsource development I interviewed Victor. His advice is on point without fluff. If you want to learn how to develop a SaaS or build your 2.0 version, his book will be a great guide.
