Read the text and answer the question below.
One month after their conversation, Brian sent an email to Sarah:
Hi Sarah,
I hope you're doing well. I wanted to update you on our software development project.
We decided to build the core parts in-house and outsource the rest. This has worked well. The in-house team has stronger control, while outsourcing has made things faster.
There were some challenges. Communication with the external team was difficult at first, but regular check-ins helped. Our team also needed more support, so we reassigned some resources.
Overall, this approach is more reliable than full outsourcing because we control key parts while saving time. However, we are still improving our process.
Thanks again for your suggestion! Let's catch up soon.
Best,
Brian
