Productivity and Quality are Inseparable

Productivity & Quality are best friends forever. (Posted by Jerry Yoakum)

Productivity and quality have a clear relationship in software development.
  • Demand for increased productivity will decrease quality (i.e. increase the number of bugs).
  • Demand for increased quality (i.e. fewer bugs) will decrease productivity.
This is not a bad thing. Accept it and plan for it. Do not agree to deadlines that are unreasonable and will result in poor quality.
