Can You Afford To Scrimp On Planning?

Wednesday, August 31, 2011

From Paul Roemer's blog Healthcare IT: How Good Is Your Strategy?: "It takes a lot of energy to dislike someone, but sometimes it is worth the effort."

"Poor planning often results in a lot of rework. There’s a saying something along the lines of it takes twice as long to do something over as it does to do it right the first time—the DIRT-FIT rule. And costs twice as much. Can you really afford either of those outcomes? Can you really afford to scrimp on the planning part of IT?"

Well, can you?
