Thought of the day: It is important to think about whether a requirement is needed or wanted. Needed means it must be there for success. Wanted means that it would be nice to have, but it is not essential. Software developments often do not succeed because want and need are confused.

Thought of the day: Some days are slower than others. Work happens, progress is made. It is steady and not at all dramatic. That's OK. The tortoise won the race after all.
