Abstract

Everyone has heard the sarcastic saying, “You don’t have time to do it right, but you do have time to do it twice.” This means the incremental time required to validate that the work is done correctly the first time is sacrificed, and you are then forced to spend extra time on rework and fixing problems at the end of the project. In many cases, your familiarity with the project lifecycle has reached the point where you think you can rush through many activities in the project. There is a sense that you can get everything right the first time. Unfortunately, it doesn’t usually happen. The errors are discovered. It is just that they are discovered later in the project instead of earlier.
