Fast! Fast. Fast?

Proof of Concept Productivity

I believe1 it was Kent Beck who coined the following statement:

Make it work, make it right, make it fast.

An easy way to memorise this:

  1. Fast! - make it work
  2. Fast. - make it right
  3. Fast? - make it fast

In other words:

  1. Fast! - build it quickly
  2. Fast. - tidy it up
  3. Fast? - make it performant, if needed

Guess what stage this article is in?
