Exploring Tradeoffs: Quality versus Speed
SteveSmith and DonGray

Description:
We will explore the situation in which a product is designed and built to solve a problem. Parts of the product work as designed while other parts are defective. To improve the quality of the product, the defects must be removed, but if you spend too much time removing defects, your product will have little value in the market. You will be a member of a team whose job is to get a clean product to market quickly in order to beat your competition.
