[Year 12 SofDev] Re: sofdev Digest, Vol 43, Issue 12

Mon Sep 8 12:22:11 EST 2008

Design is Design!

We were told at Uni some 5 years ago now that a design should be detailed
enough that if you were to have an accident someone else could use your
design and build whatever needs to be built.

In house terms a detailed plan is still a plan of what is to be.
