That analogy being apt: How many IT projects would be done at all if one had to go through the rigors associated with constructing a structure? Architectural renderings, engineering specifications, adherence to building codes, periodic inspections by inspection professionals (any one of whom can stop a project for non- conformity), written and formally-approved change orders and all of the rest. I am not saying that would be a bad thing, but the costs would skyrocket. I'm curious. What effect do you think such a system would have? - Cost increase by what percent? 500% at least is my guess. - Would failure rates fall? (or just be government-contractor-like spectacular failures?)
