# outsourcing strategy — Project Manager

As a Project Manager, 'Outsourcing Strategy' isn’t about *deciding* to outsource – that’s leadership’s call. It’s about making that decision *work* within your project. Daily tasks involve identifying work packages suitable for external vendors (think specialized coding, content creation, or testing), defining clear Statements of Work (SOWs) with measurable deliverables and acceptance criteria, and building those outsourced activities into the overall project schedule & budget. You'll be using tools like RACI matrices to define responsibilities *between* your team and the vendor, risk registers to track outsourcing-specific risks (vendor performance, communication breakdowns), and potentially contract management software for tracking agreements.
