Quotes
- “You can't control what you can't measure”
- “The business of software building isn't really high-tech at all. It's most of all a business of talking to each other and writing things down. Those who were making major contributions to the field were more likely to be its best communicators than its best technicians.”
- “It's not what you don't know that kills you but what you know that isn't so.”
- “A day lost at the beginning of project hurts just as much as a day lost at the end.”
- “People under pressure don’t work better; they just work faster.”
- “Quality is free, but only to those who are willing to pay heavily for it.”
