Stop producing chaos “Companies often suffer high levels of rework and scrap simply because they do not have a clear understanding of the state of control of their process and their capabilities. This can lead to fragmentation of the quality effort and confusion across the organisation – Engineering is frequently at loggerheads with Manufacturing over the setting of specifications which are too often set without reference to the state of control of processes or their potential ability to meet the specs.”
It is talking about manufacturing process control but it got me wondering about the implications for software development – do you build the “right” system or the one that you are actually capable of building?
