What does this hub cover for Latin American teams?

Use these guides to plan how a nearshore software development team will work with you. Start with the job you need done. A new product, an old system and a live service each need a clear scope and someone who accepts the work.

With staff augmentation, your team assigns tasks and reviews the results. For a partner that owns a whole project, spell out who sets scope, runs tests and approves each release. Teams spread across locations also need a written handoff plan.

For Opus placements, the client chooses the finalist and manages day-to-day work. This site is an Opus-owned reference; recommendations are editorial.

Ask for a quote based on the role, seniority and location. Name your own team lead before the hire starts.

Compare pay with the full cost of delivery

Use pay data to check the pay portion of a quote. These annual median figures include base pay, stock and bonus. They come from self-reported pay data.

A provider's fee may cover more than pay. Ask for a breakdown of costs and keep each quote in the same currency when you compare it. Include the time your own staff will spend on training and reviews.

Check the city and shared working hours

For nearshore software development in Mexico, check the city before setting meeting times. Mexico City stays on UTC−6 year-round. Tijuana follows US daylight saving dates. IANA North American time zone rules.

Bogotá stays on UTC−5, while San José, Costa Rica, stays on UTC−6. Neither changes clocks for daylight saving time. IANA South American rules and North American rules.

Agree on shared hours with the hire. Check meeting times again when US clocks change, and plan who handles urgent issues outside those hours.

Which entries should you read first?

Choose the guide that answers the decision you need to make next:

• Managed teams: Decide who assigns work and reviews it. Check whether your lead has time to train new hires before you add more people.
• Compliance: Set access rules before sharing code or client data. Name who grants access, handles an incident and removes accounts when someone leaves.
• Nearshore agile software development: Agree on review hours and how to raise a blocker. Track work that ships and bugs found after release.
• Hiring process: Use a work sample tied to the role. Ask the candidate to explain their choices and respond to feedback.

If you are replacing an old system, plan how to roll back a failed change. For ongoing work, keep setup notes current so another person can take over.

Bring the role, shared hours and first task to the hiring discussion.
