In Information Age organizations, structures and processes must be built around the work determined by which person can do it best. The criteria include their expertise, experience and work style. When work is matched to the right person, performance goes "in the zone." You say your company is doing just finethat's great! But the world of change and trends doesn't often give us much time to rest on our laurels. In deciding where you want to go, begin by taking a 360° look around you and consider how other's actions or inactions affect your ability to take that next step over the top.

For example, in the extreme of the programming process, the person that writes the program design would not be the same person that writes the program. The person that writes the test plan would not be the person that wrote the program. This set of divisions aids the process of locating problems, but practicality maintains that this type of structure is too severe for smaller projects.

Business with Doug Schrandt: This gives the customer some degree of assurance that errors were detected and minimized before code execution.The customer’s evaluation of source code is often implemented as code inspections and code walkthroughs during vendor audits. A source code traceability analysis is also one of the vendor’s audit elements.These verifications are performed not only by the developer, but also by the customer, and illustrate the fact that code is linked to established specifications and established test procedures.
