Communication
Specifications are important to any system design. I have often used the criteria
that an ideal specification can be handed to an engineer with no other documen-
tation, and then that engineer can design the system/circuit/software. That is an
ideal target, rarely realized in practice. However, even if your system specifications
are that good, you cannot eliminate the need for face-to-face communication on
any design that involves more than one person. These conversations and meetings
are crucial to eliminating the little “gotchas” that extend the development time by
keeping the pieces from working together.
