Re: "Good enough"

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

In an organization that is committed to continous
product improvement, you start thinking of
improvements for the next release before the
current one gets boxed up and loaded onto the
trucks.  "Good enough" is a state that lasts just
long enough for everyone at the table to agree
that the current version is ready to release.
