9. Rapid Prototyping and SQA Talk with Customer Build Something Quick

10. Extreme Programming Kent Beck - 1999 5 Values Communication between customer and developers, between developers, developers and management,... Simplicity the simplest idea is usually the best Feedback "Optimism is an occupational hazard of programming. Feedback is the treatment." Courage Respect

11. Reality Check… But what about the cost of all this extra work?

12. The cost of extra work Given that it costs 100 times more to remove a defect during operation rather than during the requirements specification phase, spending 20% more money early saves time and money overall. Also refer to: the case studies you read  return on investment for implementing SQA figures 7.7 and 7.8 in the textbook  sample cost tracking for SQA

13. Next… So then, if reviews are a good idea, how do we conduct them?
