Good, Fast, Cheap… Pick Any Two We never have time to do it right, but we always have time to do it over….. and over….. and over….. I hear time and time again. Just get it done right now, we’ll fix it later. — The problem is that later never comes, and the product is only “fixed” after a very expensive product recall. By then it is too late and significant market share has been lost as well as the reputation of the brand. Trying to save a few bucks in product development can cost millions in product recalls.
