Change is Embraced

“…end users are forced to firmly state their needs before they are ready. Any changes are then frozen so a contract can be negotiated…Unfortunately, without initial agreement on the job, it is impossible to reach agreement on the scope of the changes…This process results in wasted time and money, distrust, and a poor product.”

- "Managing the Software Process" by Watts S. Humphrey.
