RE: Avoiding documentation bottlenecks while maintainingquality?(take II)

["Tariel, Lauren R" <lt34 -at- saclink -dot- csus -dot- edu>]

How about the quality triangle, "Eat, drink, and be merry"?
 
Personally, I don't care for the school of thought that a product can be good, fast, or cheap, but not all three.  Why should anything need to be left out if you want one or two of the things in the triangle?  Now if a customer wants a product that is produced super-good, super-fast, and super-cheap, then the customer might wind up with a product that is superbad.  (Funny movie, btw.)  But compromises can be made to get a product that is produced moderately-good, moderately-fast, and moderately-cheap.  And if we keep in mind that all things are relative, then we can say that fast is good and cheap compared to what is produced by other vendors.
 
Lauren
