(C f f )(Cost of failure vs. project time curve)

FAIL OFTENThe Wright brothers built seven flying machines in their quest for a practical aircraft, each a test bed for untried theories and assumptions. When they guessed wrong, they crashed -- and the Wrights crashed each one of their aircraft more than once. However, knowing what doesn’t work points the way to what does After each failurepoints the way to what does. After each failure, they rebuilt and modified their aircraft, incorporating what they had learned in the new design.
