Measurement and the Development Process

by Carol A. Dekkers

The ensuing discussion with the experts and audience participants was fast-paced and opinionated, with views ranging from equilateral triangles (focus evenly on each component) to 3-D pyramids. At several points during the discussion, parallels with engineering and construction were mentioned, as were ideas about how a particular focus could solve the ailments of the industry.
