Lack of Transparency Spiral Image

Lack of transparency hinders business success

We put together a list of common problems frequently encountered in tech companies that require immediate attention and resolution:

  • Inefficient, unsuccessful project implementation plan. As a result, project delays.
  • Challenges related to security concerns, lack of visibility and control over processes, and inadequate protection of confidential information.
  • Loss of control over the performer's work and inability to track team rotation.
  • If the client communicates only with the PM, not the whole team, then communication cannot be transparent.
  • Failure to account for hidden costs, as many outsourcing companies work on a fixed-price basis, immediately determines the budget and duration of the project.

What can the lack of transparency lead to?

Insufficient transparency within the team makes it challenging to allocate resources rationally, assign tasks to the most suitable individuals, and reach agreements on actions become difficult. When transparency is missing, project participants are unable to get the full picture, leading to a lack of confidence and hindered productivity, potentially resulting in project setbacks or exceeding deadlines and budgets.
