A colleague told me he thought my blog title of “Get the Bad News Early!” was too negative, and he got me thinking. Hence the name change. Whilst it’s not particularly important, I’ve changed it.
Both are important concepts in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC):
Early Detection means cheaper to fix.
Fixing the symptoms of a problem is unproductive (though common).
Much of the evolution of the SDLC over the last 30 years has been focused on detecting problems as soon as possible.
