Description

This week Peter and Dave will deconstruct a quote from Tom DeMarco. "Quality takes time and reduces the quantity, so it makes you, in a sense, less efficient. The organization that optimizes efficiency recognizes quality as its enemy. That's why many corporate quality programs are actually quality reduction programs in disguise."

This week's takeaways:

  • Technology is cheap today, but the impact is expensive.
  • Organizations that test at the end reinforce the loop.
  • We now have more integration abilities between systems.
