Overview: An outsourcing evaluation should follow a disciplined, managerial approach from planning through negotiation and implementation, to ongoing management of the relationship. The planning, analysis and design steps followed during an outsourcing assessment are similar to the familiar project management development process. This article focuses primarily on the all-important first steps of the planning phase. A major part of the planning phase is the feasibility study. The feasibility of outsourcing is determined by a series of screens that every outsourcing idea should pass before further, detailed evaluation. If the outsourcing idea passes the initial screens, planning can proceed to a detailed outsourcing evaluation. Early in the outsourcing evaluation process, the customer must identify who will take leadership responsibility, perform the analysis, and make the decisions.
