Here’s a good blog reading for them software developers. A snippet of the article:

“Build higher quality software in the same amount of time.”

There are at least two morals to this story

The first is that you will eventually reap what you sew, so don’t compromise your design. Fight tooth and nail and push out timelines if you have to. This is not going to be easy, so good luck. Let me know if you discover any secrets because I would love to hear them.

The other is that reducing risk takes time. At this point I should add that it’s our responsibility as technical folk to educate those who don’t know this. A concept that appears so clear to us may not be apparent to a person outside if the IT department. We’re the only people that truly understand the complexity of the systems we build and the ramifications of spending too little time on design or QA.
