make it work, right, fast

make it work
make it right
make it fast


These statements are often quoted when it comes to discussions between software developers about software performance. Some people tend to emphasize "make it work" and leave the "make it right" and "make it fast" to the maintenance guys.

The statements should not be understood as

"Make the WHOLE SYSTEM work"
"Make the WHOLE SYSTEM right"
"Make the WHOLE SYSTEM fast"


Rather, I'd like to see it as a continuous cycle which reflects the modern development iterations:

"Make the CLASS work"
"Make the CLASS right"
"Make the CLASS fast"
"Repeat with next CLASS"

Robert showed be a nice article about Kanban-Boards. I've seen them at a customer and in another team's office. However, I haven't tried it out myself. There's a cool calendar shown in the article. It shows the mood of each team member per day. Every team member has his own calendar and puts a smiley on it at the end of the day.
