An Ounce of Prevention


Today a customer database became corrupt and there was no good backup to recover. It took a team of three working day and night to manually enter data and restore the customer's database. And is it right?? This is just another example where some up front planning and preparation can save time (and embarrassment) later. It is so easy in the fast-paced workplace to "do" rather than "plan", but I can't count how many times I've seen where a small amount of time spent up front would save 'pain' later.
A good lesson for software managers... plan before doing.
