Hi all,
I'm helping a colleague put some finishing touches on a paper.
The hypothesis in question is:
Early intervention in design is better than later adjustments to correct
for e.g. Human Factors Flaws.
Oddly (or perhaps not), I've always assumed this to be true, but when
confronted with citing theoretical work providing evidence for this, I come
up short, except for Reinertsen's book on the 'design factory.'
So the question is: can anyone direct me to a couple of good papers that
discuss and hopefully demonstrate the hypothesis, to bootstrap my further
background research?
Much obliged.
Cheers.
Fil
